Story
Thor, an adorable Arizona kitty, has a tumor growing in his armpit area. Thankfully, the tumor does not appear to be attached to any bones or muscles. Thor’s veterinarian recommends removing the tumor and sending it to pathology.
Surgery has been estimated between $759.00 - 1,063.00; however, his elderly mom relies on just $967.00 monthly in social security benefits and the cost of Thor’s surgery is far beyond her means. 😿
To complicate matters further, Thor’s local veterinarian is fully booked until late March. Since the veterinarian does not know the origin of Thor’s growth, his mom is worried and does not want him to wait that long! Thor’s mom found another veterinarian in Phoenix who can operate sooner, but his devoted mom will need to take three buses to get him there! 💗
Thor was adopted from the humane society on February 24th, 2021, and has a safe and loving forever home. At just six years old, Thor has many happy cat life years ahead of him, and removing this tumor as soon as possible will save his life!
Please, can you help this adorable orange boy and his elderly mom?
Thor had surgery to remove two tumors!
Thor had surgery on Tuesday and is back home with his mom recovering. Thor is doing well; he was sent home with antibiotics and pain medication.
Thor's surgery cost $1,267.00; a little more than the estimate, so we used some funds from the Emergency Fund to cover the remaining balance. We also purchased a post-surgical catsuit for Thor as he is Houdini in a cone!
Thor will have a recheck and suture removal in 10 days. We will have more updates soon!
Thank you to our donors; YOU are all incredible people. We are humbled by your generosity and compassion for pets in need. YOU SAVED ANOTHER PRECIOUS LIFE!
WONDERFUL UPDATE ON THOR!
Thor did very well post-op. Thor had a check-up and suture removal this week and has been given a clean bill of health by his surgeon! Thor's surgery was only made possible by the generous support of our donors.
