5th January Update!
5 January 2026
Speaking with Vet Alix today our plan remains to wait for the Orthopedic Vet to return from holiday so we can get a recommendation and quote to go ahead with surgery.
This is the absolute worst time of year to be dealing with this due to restricted hours and resources, and it's costing 💲400-600 each visit for re-splint as Merlin must be sedated. We've already spent over 1.5K on 3 visits, and another one or two will be needed as he's outgrowing them too fast by the time we have a further plan.
It's frustrating, but it is what it is. Unfortunately this means the majority of funds have already been spent on upkeep alone, and we need to continue fundraising for whatever surgery is to come, whether that be amputation or pins.
We are beyond grateful for your help, especially at such a tough time of year. 🐾 On top of dealing with these costs, we continue to house 26 cats at HQ which we pay 💲450 for weekly, as well as caring for the other 64 cats in foster homes.
Any and all help is much appreciated 🙏 We know we sound like a broken record - but if it weren't for you we honestly could not get through this.
