Cogsworth needs surgery to fix a luxating patella.

Christchurch, Canterbury

Cogsworth is one of our adoptable cats and has unfortunately been diagnosed with Grade Four Luxating Patella which basically means his knee is permanently dislocated because the groove where his kneecap sits is too shallow 😿

Coggy is as charming and handsome as he is an absolute rascal! As soon as you sit down he’ll leap onto your lap, rest his beautiful panther face on your tummy and purr himself to sleep… that is unless you have a muffin or cake in which case he’ll do everything he can to steal a bite! 🍰😼

He has always been one to wow us with his acrobatics, but unfortunately he is currently on crate rest awaiting surgery, after which he will be out of action for a further six to eight weeks while he recovers!

Coggleton is booked in for surgery at Wigram Vet on Thursday 7th July and the cost estimate is between $2513.81 and $2859.77. Once he has fully recovered, with his fancy new upgraded leg bones, he’ll be ready to find his forever home! 🏡😸

Unfortunately at the moment, “in this economy”, an unexpected surgery like this is a significant financial setback and falls well outside what we can comfortably absorb. If you are able to contribute towards this Givealittle is would mean so much to us, and if not, sharing with your fellow cat enthusiast friends and family is just as good too!

Thank you from Alyssa, Nate, Cogsworth and the rest of the Catnap Team ❤️

Another surgery needed  24 August 2022

Last week we took Cogsworth in for x-rays as we noticed he had gone back to avoiding putting weight on his leg. Unfortunately, it looks like his initial surgery was unsuccessful and his knee has popped back out of place :(

Cogsoworth is booked in for another surgery tomorrow so we are really hoping for a better outcome this time. It is also looking like his other knee is having some issues now too so he may need some work done on that one as well, we will find out tomorrow.

Please send positive vibes Coggy's way!
