Story
Kitty, a sweet little pup from Texas suffered blunt force trauma to her eye from running into something sharp like a stick that caused displacement of the lens in the anterior chamber of her left eye. Kitty needs a surgical procedure to restore her vision and relieve her pain.
Lens luxation, or displacement, occurs when the lens tears free of its zonular fibrous attachments. A displaced lens can also cause glaucoma, resulting in a buildup of intraocular pressure which will cause irreversible damage to the eye if left untreated. A highly skilled veterinary ophthalmic surgeon will need to perform the surgery.
Surgery has been estimated between $3,420.00 and 4,500.00; Kittyβs mom is low-income and cannot afford this and itβs breaking her heart to see her sweet little girl in pain.
Kitty was a gift to her mom when she was a teenager; they have grown up together and their bond is unbreakable with shared memories and moments that have stood the test of time. Balancing the responsibilities of part-time work with a commitment to furthering her education reflects her unwavering determination to build a better life for herself and Kitty!
Kitty is just 11 years old; she has many more good years left to give her mom love and companionship. Please, can you help restore Kittyβs sight and live pain-free?
