Crumpet is a 1.5-year-old British Shorthair Cat in Arden, NC, who needs $2,000 for FHO Surgery (Femoral Head Ostectomy).

I adopted Crumpet from a household that was unable to properly care for a kitten. He joined me, my husband, and 5 cat siblings who were all rescued due to various medical or behavioral issues.

Crumpet is incredibly well-loved by my husband and me, but he is definitely a daddy's boy. They are truly inseparable! He loves to play and is also the snuggliest cat in the house. He is lovingly referred to as "The Baby”.

Crumpet was unexpectedly attacked by one of his cat siblings, resulting in a fracture at the head of the femur, where it attaches to the hip. In order to be pain-free and regain use of that leg, he needs FHO surgery (femoral head ostectomy). The surgery is scheduled for Feb 27 at Western Carolina Veterinary Surgery in Arden, NC. The estimate for surgery and post-op care is about $3400.

To make things even worse, Crumpet has been hospitalized at SAVES since Feb 23. He was treated for obstipation, which is constipation so severe that the stool can’t be passed, even with enemas. He has a lifelong history of this despite all efforts to prevent this from happening. It was important that this painful condition be resolved prior to his surgery. We still owe about $1100 for his care.

I unexpectedly lost my job in January & am struggling financially. We are empty nesters, and our cat family are like our children. There's nothing more important to us than getting our baby Crumpet healthy and back home. We are beyond grateful for any support. Thank you.
