Patella surgery for a 7 month Kitten

$187 of $3,000 goal
Given by 9 generous donors in around 3 months

Delilah has a grade 3 luxating patella which the vets believe will need surgery on as she cant walk on her leg properly.

Canterbury

Delilah is nearly 7 months old. I began to fostered and eventually adopted from 3 weeks old after she was found alone on someones lawn.

She began limping Wednesday the 22nd of May and got diagonsed with luxating patella in her rare left leg by Monday the 27th she was barely walking on it and when she does it with very little pressure.

She will need to have surgery at a specialist clinic to get her patella fixed.

Not expecting something like this to happen, I do not have the money saved and I hate asking for money but I need to get my girl better as I hate seeing her in pain.

Anything will help. Thank you.

Use of funds

Funds raised will be spent on surgery, medication and aftercare for Delilah.

Xrays  5 June 2019

Delilah had xrays yesterday everything looks normal. Actually felt and moved her Patella which was weird but she does have luxating patellas in both legs just one is worse, meaning that amputation is not an option.

We are going to wait until she has finished growing before we do anything as it could disrupt the growth plates.

So any money donated will go into a savings account just for this until it is needed.
