Please Help Benjamin After Being Hit By a Car

At just 10 weeks old, Benjamin has already faced more pain than most animals do in a lifetime. This tiny kitten, weighing only 2 pounds, was hit by a car and found dragging himself around, broken but still trying to survive. At the shelter, he sat waiting for help that never came… until the caretakers at Spicy Whiskers saw him. They couldn’t turn our backs.

X-rays revealed the heartbreaking truth: two broken bones in one back leg and a shattered hip in the other. Benjamin needed immediate, specialized care. Their orthopedic team dropped everything to save him. In just 48 hours, he endured two major surgeries—two plates placed in one leg and an FHO (femoral head ostectomy) to repair the other.

He is a fighter. Spicy Whiskers Rescue fought for him, too. But the cost of giving him this chance at life was enormous: $4,000. For a small rescue like theirs is overwhelming. Benjamin’s story is just beginning—he deserves to grow, to play, to live without pain. But they cannot carry this burden alone. Will you help this amazing rescue cover Benjamin’s life-saving surgeries?

Every dollar goes directly toward his care and ensures that when the next Benjamin comes along, we can say “yes” again.

He fought for his life. This rescue fought with him. Now, we’re asking you to fight for him, too. Please donate now.
