Cole is a 9-year-old Persian Longhair Cat in Durango , CO, who needs $1,250 for Amputation of Left Back Leg.

Cole is a very special and amazing cat. He was given to my son by a very good friend of his. My son thought it would be a good idea for me to have a kitten to help with my depression and loneliness. Cole and I hit it off from the start. He is a very loving and sweet cat. He loves attention and is very vocal LOL. He loves to play with my granddaughter and has a host of friends everywhere he goes.

I knew Cole was special from the start. He was born with extra paws and claws on his front feet. He uses them like thumbs LOL. Cole and my granddaughter are best friends. He follows her around everywhere. They play for hours. He's never scratched her, or anyone for that matter. Cole brings so much joy to my heart. He is so affectionate and loving. He is a part of our family.

Cole has a host of friends in the neighborhood. He makes his rounds daily ,to visit all the neighbors. they give him food and treats, and he even takes naps in their houses. Every morning he walks out to greet the maintenance men. He is very vocal and talks to everyone. His best friends are a chiweenie and my granddaughter. It is so comical to see them play together.

Cole was injured on 2-16-23 we believe it was from an auto accident. His left back leg was mangled badly. He lost a lot of blood and was in an extreme amount of pain. My son Carl rushed him to the animal hospital. Unfortunately they were unable to save his leg. But the kind and caring people at the animal hospital saved his life. We are so grateful to them all.

I am an elderly disabled lady who lives on a fixed income, and I couldn't afford the surgery required to save his life. The great people at the animal hospital who treated him are working with us, but we could really use some help to make sure our friend Cole makes a full recovery.
