Story
Momo, a stunning kitty from Arizona was diagnosed with Necrotizing myopathy (NM) a rare autoimmune disease that causes muscle weakness and atrophy. Momo‘s left femur bone was fractured from a slight fall jumping from the ottoman to the couch. Momo needs Femoral head osteotomy (FHO) surgery; a surgical procedure that restores pain-free mobility for cats with hip conditions such as hip fractures.
Surgery has been estimated between $1,871.19 - 2,671.19 however, Momo’s mom can not afford his surgery. She recently lost her 11-year-old kitty Simba to bladder cancer and maxed out her care credit account.
Momo’s mom said, “He is a sweet boy, I adopted him in July, he has short legs and has always had a weird gate. I just found out he's been in pain likely for a long time, and I'm so heartbroken for not knowing. I don't want to lose Momo; I don't want to surrender him. He was given back 3 times before I got him. He's quirky and weird, but I absolutely love this little guy.”
At just four years old, Momo deserves a life without pain. This surgery will bring back his mobility and comfort.
