Awhi Mai stops the suffering of vulnerable community cats.

Auckland

Sunday morning sweet Simba a beautiful, loved pet by her whanau was attacked savagely on her own property by two roaming dogs.

Simba’s family is struggling and has experienced some hard times of late and lost a lot. Their three children adore Simba saying she is “their best friend “. These little ones have been devastated.

Simba sustained deep bite wounds and has battled through life threatening shock and enormous pain. The puncture wounds from the dog attack has penetrated the abdominal wall and she has a large hernia that requires expensive surgery

Awhi Mai can’t let this little family suffer another loss because they can’t afford her operation to repair this.

So community let’s put a smile back in the hearts of the Manu’s and find the funds

Her surgery is $2,200

Please give a little and share to all other incredible people you know that don’t want to break the heart of three precious children
