Chico is a 2-year-old Domestic Shorthair in Miami, FL, who needs 1,700 for multiple-limb-amputation surgery.

Chico was a couple of weeks old when we found him in the forest two years ago. His back feet were paralyzed and he was in very bad shape. We took him to the vet. His belly was so sore and red, they couldn't understand if he's a boy or a girl. They said it looks like he received a blow on his back and he will never use his back feet again. The good news was that he wasn't able to feel and wasn't in pain. They suggested we put him to sleep but we decided to take care of him. We treated his wounds and started to put a diaper on him and make him comfortable. We also express his bladder two times a day to prevent urinary tract infection. In the past two years, Chico has become our family and we really love him. We need your help to make sure Chico lives a long and happy life.
