• Dora, my kitty needs surgery.
    78 replies, posted
Tiny Dora is a 3 month old Turkish Angora. She's playful and bashful. She gets plenty of love and she gives it back by cuddling up in bed at night. Unfortunately, last week, Dora had a mishap while playing and broke her front right leg. The break is on top of the leg, near the shoulder. She's seen 2 vets already, incurring $600 vet bills. The only way to realign the bone is through surgery since it's so high up. [URL]http://kittensurgery.chipin.com/tiny-doras-surgery[/URL] I've managed to raise $700 through family and friends, and I desperately need any help I can get from the kindness of strangers. The surgery will total about $2,000, not to mention all the blood-work that needs to be done before, and all I have left in the bank is $100. I know it's a long shot but I'm all out of options, and I desperately want her to grow up healthy, happy, and pain-free. I've called numerous organizations only to be told the same price range. I've called an organization I donated to frequently in better times, hoping they can take her in and fix her up in exchange for me relinquishing my ownership, but their waiting list is 8 months long..and Dora needs the surgery ASAP. No one seems to offer a payment plan, other than the CareCredit credit card with the 25% APR. ANY help will be appreciated. No amount is too small. If 1300 people donated a dollar each, Dora could get her surgery by the end of the week. THANK YOU. All good deeds are sure to be answered with kindness in the future.

Is it missing an arm?
Jesus Christ it looks like the cat is incredibly uncomfortable in that bandage
[QUOTE=RAWRrrr;20387331]Is it missing an arm?[/QUOTE] Its shoulder is wrapped up. It's not uncomfortable for her. We have to give her pain killers through the gum every 12 hours, so she won't meow.
$3000 for a cat? you could buy 40 new cats for that much.
Mail the cat to me i will perform the surgery for minimal expenses.
What the fuck. I have a white cat with 3 legs too. His name's Milkshake. The surgery for him was only $1000 though.

Mine still fucking climbs trees and catches birds occasionally.
[QUOTE=Waals Vander;20387377]$3000 for a cat? you could buy 40 new cats for that much.[/QUOTE] it's not the point. It's the point of the pet is a a part of your family. My dog has stage 3 kidney failure, and if I could completely fix it, I would sell anything I could to help pay for it.

[QUOTE=Waals Vander;20387377]$3000 for a cat? you could buy 40 new cats for that much.[/QUOTE] So, who cares? Why pay health insurance and why spend money on health care for you if we can just get someone else? I would donate money but I'm horribly broke, i do wish the best for you and your kitty.
[QUOTE=Henry Townshend;20387449]Where is it?[/QUOTE] Near her right arm. Look at the picture more closely.

Aha, aww. That's such a cute kitten! I'd trade it anytime with my ugly black cat.

I love how a website full of peple that insult each other pulls together with things like this. wish I could donate but im the lowest under the poverty line on this site.
[QUOTE=raccoon2112;20387575]You're a terrible person that should never have an animal EVER. As a matter of fact you should be locked up for a long time. That or you're a good troll[/QUOTE] He's just looking at it like a real man though? Real men love cats, but not as much as money, so they think like "hmm i let this one go, get 40 new ones and then im 40x happier and still love them all!"
[QUOTE=raccoon2112;20387575]You're a terrible person that should never have an animal EVER. As a matter of fact you should be locked up for a long time. That or you're a good troll[/QUOTE] Locked up? For what reason? Cause if you want him locked up for not wanting to pay a shitload of money for one kitten then your logic is flawed.
[QUOTE=ionuttzu;20387656]Locked up? For what reason? Cause if you want him locked up for not wanting to pay a shitload of money for one kitten then your logic is flawed.[/QUOTE] You can donate one dollar. Don't be so cheap.
Don't call me Dora and maybe then we can talk about your kitty
[QUOTE=Waals Vander;20387377]$3000 for a cat? you could buy 40 new cats for that much.[/QUOTE] I lol'd so hard. But really, this is quite sad.

Vetpunch?
[QUOTE=Jallen;20387704]I lol'd so hard. But really, this is quite sad.[/QUOTE] It's not the first time in the world a cat injured a bone a little bit, let alone all the worse things that happen in the world.
[QUOTE=Leaf Runner;20387858]It's not the first time in the world a cat injured a bone a little bit, let alone all the worse things that happen in the world.[/QUOTE] That doesn't mean it's not sad. However I don't sympathise with the cause enough to donate.
I don't have any money on PayPal :( I wish your kitten good luck, I hope she will survive...
