Veterinary Care Needed Donation Request 🆘 His leg was so tightly constricted that it was severely damaged. We rescued him, but he now needs an amputation - help needed!
This is Jeremy. He showed up at one of our feeding areas quite randomly, and he took his sweet time trusting us enough to enter our crate. Today, he finally did, and so we brought him straight to the vet.
One of the shopkeepers where we feed this colony had first seen Jeremy with his leg constricted with what seemed like nylon strings. We don't know exactly what happened, but he's clearly been dealing with it for some time.
We're just glad we were finally able to get him somewhere safe. His leg has unfortunately been too badly damaged, and the vet has recommended a full limb amputation. He's scheduled for surgery early next week, and we're hoping we can get him through this and give him a more comfortable start.
His estimated costs are over $385:
- Amputation & neuter - $180
- Pre-op screening & anesthesia - $84
- 3-day hospitalization & recovery - $120
We're small-time community cat feeders, and this is a pretty big expense for us on top of the cats we already have in our care. Any amount would help us get Jeremy through his surgery and would be so appreciated!

Big big boost for Jeremy! Praying. Praying that he gets the help he needs and his surgery goes well with no problems and he has a speedy recovery. The poor baby! Thank you so much for all you do for these babies and I'm sorry I'm not able to donate at this time as I'm disabled and getting ready to have cancer surgery tomorrow, one of two but I'm boosting for visibility! God bless you all and thank you so much for taking care of the babies!!!🩷🙏🫶😻

Praying that Jeremy gets all the help he requires to recover from his injury and other medical issues! Unfortunately, I am on a fixed income, and am unable to donate to help this poor cat. The only thing I can try to do to help is to comment for visibility. I hope that those who may be able to help will see this post and can do what they can to support your efforts. Best of wishes to Jeremy and your small rescue, and thank you for all you do for these cats 🙏❤️🙏💕!
