Aiko needed a second surgery ASAP! ๐Ÿ™€

THE EMERGENCY FUND HELPED AIKO! ๐Ÿš‘

We helped beautiful Aiko, a snowshoe kitty from Texas, with the cost of surgery to remove a tumor on her back right paw pad in September, and Aiko fully recovered! Recently, Aiko's mom noticed she was limping and licking her paw constantly. She discovered another tumor on the same paw and Aiko's veterinarian recommended amputating her leg to prevent more tumors from developing. ๐Ÿ˜ฟ

However, the cost of surgery was estimated between $1,944.96 - 2,029.96. Aiko's mom reached out to us for help. She said, "I know it's a lot to ask for help again, but Aiko's paw is bleeding and she is uncomfortable. This was very unexpected since Aiko was looking healthy again after her first surgery."

TIME WAS OF THE ESSENCE, Aiko's veterinarian had an opening the same week but we were already fundraising for Cricket and Speedy Jr's surgeries. We used funds available in the Emergency Fund ๐Ÿš‘ and Aiko had surgery. Aiko is recovering at home. She is learning to navigate life with 3 legs but her mom said she is doing well. Aiko will have a recheck and suture removal in a few days.

We will have more updates on beautiful Aiko soon! The Emergency Fund is crucial to our mission; it steps in when we do not have time to fundraise. Because of donations received, Aiko has a second chance at life! ๐Ÿ˜ฝ
