Carlos is a 1-year-old orange tabby in Lacey, WA, who needs $1,999 for femoral head ostectomy (FHO).

I got Carlos as a kitten from a friend. He is a year and a half old now, and a gentle giant. He is already bigger than my older cat who turns seven in a few months. Carlos is one of the sweetest and most gentle cats I have ever met. Currently my cats and I are staying with some family, until we can get our own place again. Carlos is usually a very playful kitty.

Carlos loves to sit in the window, and gaze at birds. He also loves long naps, and small toys that crinkle. Ordinarily one of his favorite activities is chasing a Lazer with his older brother. Carlos has tons of nicknames including Carlton, Carl, Mr Butts, Mr Mustache, and ChunkyButt. Carlos has a squeaky meow like a kitten, his meow never developed. My cats mean the world to me.

Originally I got Carlos as a companion for my older cat TrainWreck, I had recently moved into an apartment and he was unhappy being alone. By the third day TrainWreck had accepted Carlos as his own, and taken on the role of father/brother. My cats ordinarily spend a lot of they're time chasing each other and play wrestling. My cats are best friends. The love they have for each other is beautiful

My poor baby Carlos has a fracture in his hip socket on his rear left leg. I took him to Banfield at Petsmart in Lacey, and they took radiographs of his hip. They prescribed him pain medication until I can get him surgery. They referred me to Olympia Veterinary Specialists for his surgery. Right now Carlos can't do anything on his own. He can't even stand up in the litter box.

I am 25. I currently do Uber Eats for work, but unfortunately I have no savings. This problem came out of nowhere. My cats mean everything to me. Carlos needs this surgery so he can go back to being a happy boy. Thank you to everyone. Even if all you can do is share this.
