Help us save Diesel the cat.

Stratford, Taranaki

Hi everyone,

We’re reaching out with heavy hearts to ask for help for our beloved cat, Diesel, who was recently involved in a serious accident.

Sadly, the injuries to diesel’s leg are so severe that the vet has told us the only way to save his life is through an urgent leg amputation.

This has been heartbreaking for our Flat family and his best friend/brother Barry. Diesel is such a loving, gentle boy and a huge part of our family. What makes this even harder is that he is incredibly bonded with his brother, Barry. The two of them have grown up together and are almost never apart. They sleep together, play together, and keep each other company every day. Barry is always by Diesel’s side, and it’s clear how much they rely on each other.

Seeing Diesel hurt like this has been devastating for us, and we know Barry misses his brother while he’s away getting care.

We’re asking for any support you can give to help cover:

• Emergency surgery

• Vet hospital care

• Medication and pain relief

• Recovery and rehabilitation

Even the smallest donation would mean so much to us and help give Diesel the chance to heal and continue living a happy life.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read our story and for helping give Diesel a second chance. We can’t wait for the day he’s back home with Barry again. 🐾❤️

2% Effective Fee
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.
