    Kia ora koutou and thank you all so so much for your generous support through this. I have been so overwhelmed and grateful for how many people gave to help Igor (and me) through this time.

    Things moved fast and I chose that afternoon to go book Igor's amputation at the vet which they were able provide quickly on Tuesday, the next day. As many of you know, it went well! It is now a week on and he is going back to his old self, getting used to using three legs to climb and jump, to places he shouldn't be going yet, and is mostly only upset that he can't go outside yet.

    His operation was entirely covered by your donations and there is excess. There is still one more follow-up appointment as well as monitoring him which I will put this towards. I will update again once I have an idea of how much is leftover.

    Not a great picture of Igor, nor our kitchen, but does show his new leg set up! Thank you all again ~ Jamiema
