Bear is a 3-year-old Cat in Crimora , VA, who needs $1,000 for Caudectomy.

I moved into my father in laws home about a year ago. Bear showed up here and just never left so I started taking care of her. She has had her tail chopped, or bit off by a fox we think, and the tiny nub that’s left she cannot move or use so she has a hard time using the bathroom. She is super smart and loves to talk to you and be loved on. She deserves this surgery she’s been through a lot.

Bear comes to the door every morning telling me it’s time to get up. She cannot sleep inside until the surgery, bc feces is stuck on her backside always. Immediately she jumps or crawls into my lap so she can kiss me and get loved on. . Her poor tails been missing since I first laid eyes on her, and it breaks my heart. She’s so full of personality and high spirits lites despite her broken tail.

She is extremely smart and listens to me better than most dogs would. She’s very vocal and will tell you exactly how she feels! I have bonded with her and we both just needed each other I think!

I’m very afraid her tail will get infected and kill her. Her tail is only two inches long and hangs down limply. The animal hospital on waynesboro quoted us $800 to remove the nub so she can use the bathroom properly. Her overall life would be so much better and longer I’m sure.

I recently lost my job and with one vehicle Between my husband and me it’s hard for us to juggle two jobs atm. It would be amazing to be able to let Bear be an inside cat! Plus to see her pain free would just be a blessing!
