Kiara's Operation

$7,515 of $8,000 goal
Given by 19 generous donors in 3 days

Car hit my cat and ran. Now she can't walk, can't urinate and is in a lot of pain. She needs an urgent operation done, can't afford $8000.

Auckland

My cat Kiara got hit by a car yesterday. It was a hit and run. She is currently in hospital. She has a sacral fracture on the base of her spine and pelvis. She currently is in a lot of pain, cant urinate or walk and needs to have surgery done which will cost close to $8000.

Putting her down is not an option for me. My sweet baby is a survivor, she crawled home with only her two front legs after the accident.

Did I get quotes from other places? Yes, initially I got a quote from another othopedic surgeon for 3k to 4k but after the consultation with the specialist, they found more injuries which only a specialist can operate on her. The emergency vet bill came to $1120.76 plus the specialist consultation is 300 plus the operation is 6000 to 6500.

Please, if anyone can help donate, every little bit helps.

Kiara's home!  11 January 2019

Thank you everyone! Kiara is now happy at home.

Ive set up a big cage for her. She needs to be confined for at least a month with periods of walking around.

They have put a screw and plate to secure her sacral bone and with that being stabalised, all the little fractures around her pelvis will heal over time.

She can't walk properly just yet so she just awkwardly waddles around and doesn't go far. Once her bones heal, she will slowly regain strength in her hind area to walk properly.

I have just enough to cover the cost of Kiara (slightly less but it's okay).

I will close this donation site shortly as I do not want any extra money donated when it is not needed.

I can't thank everyone enough for your donations, it really means a lot to us and you have saved her life. I will try to post progress videos either on my facebook or youtube so you can see how she is doing.

Thank you everyone! xx

Much love,

Clarette & Kiara
