Story
A U.S. Army veteran’s cat has suffered severe injuries. Tommy Girl, a beloved furbaby from Kentucky, snuck outside, and when she returned home, she was limping. Her elderly dad rushed her to the urgent Vet, and x-rays revealed Tommy Girl’s left hip was dislocated. She was referred to an orthopedic specialty veterinary hospital for surgery. However, the earliest they could perform the surgery was after the new year, and Tommy Girl can’t wait that long!
With the help of the incredible and caring staff at the urgent Vet, they found another hospital that could get Tommy Girl in sooner. Unfortunately, it was over 40 miles away, and her dad could not make the long journey due to his poor vision. They continued to call other veterinary hospitals and were given the same disappointing news. Miraculously, an orthopedic surgeon heard of Tommy Girl’s plight and offered to evaluate Tommy Girl's condition and possibly do surgery by the end of this week! Sometimes, IT TAKES A VILLAGE!
The surgeon has reviewed Tommy Girl’s x-rays and recommended Femoral Head Osteotomy (FHO), which has been estimated to cost $2,800.00. Tommy Girl’s dad lives on a meager disability benefit and can not afford his sweet girl’s surgery. Again, the urgent vet went above and beyond for this Veteran and his kitty by searching for nonprofit organizations to help, and luckily, they found us!
Tommy Girl was a pregnant stray kitten when her dad found her; he gave her a safe place to have her babies, and she was fixed once the kittens were weaned and found their furever homes.
Tommy Girl and her Dad have a special bond, and it is breaking his heart to see her struggle. Please help this veteran’s beloved furbaby get the surgery she desperately needs.
