To pay for Theo our 9 month old kittens surgery in order to keep his leg and to overcome him possibly passing.

Auckland

Theodore is an incredibly special cat, myself (15) raising him after getting him at 5 weeks from an area where stray cats breed. Theo and his brother Arlo were only 200g and 400g and have been raised into amazing you boys. This morning we woke up to Theo outside paralysed in his back legs due to what we think was a hit and run. His leg is fractured in 4 different places as well as a fracture in his vertebrae. Although we are uncomfortable asking for donations as we a struggling to find the money to pay for the surgery to keep his leg we have decided that this is our best bet to keep Theo alive. We are unsure of the possible outcome of Theo but are kindly asking for the help of your donations. Theo is only 9 months old, and one of the most special cats we have ever had. Keeping my mum company when we are at dads, always kissing and loving everyone, and especially keeping his brother Arlo company in our garden playing for hours and hours. Thank you for your kindness.

Use of funds

To pay for the surgery and overnight vert care which we aren't able to pay for, as my mother is a single mother on a low income. But never the less we are an incredibly caring and loving family of all things including our animals.

On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
