Dottie is a 2 year old Mix-Breed in Berwick , ME, who needs $2,000 for Fracture Repair Surgery.

Our kids had always wanted a pet, but the timing was never quite right. During Covid, we moved to live near family and soon had a home and yard of our own that was the perfect place. A family member’s cat had kittens in 2022 and we fell in love. We connected with one in particular right away. We named her Dottie after a farm animal that had once lived at our family’s historic farm.

While out a couple of mornings ago, she returned limping. We thought she would sleep it off and be fine- she’s gotten small injuries before. But after being lethargic and not moving for a day and a half, we brought her to urgent care. She cried in pain. They referred us to the pet ER where they did x-rays and told us our options were to do reparative surgery or amputate.

Dottie is an extremely active indoor/outdoor cat. She loves to hunt and explore and is very loyal to our family. Even if she is gone all day, she will return- waiting at our doorstep. She’s a part of our family. She has so much love to give and life left to live- she turns two in May. We have often said we would love to put a camera on her and see what she does all day!

We are both self employed people who live humbly. We do all our own work on our vehicles and home. Our son goes to college in the fall. We humbly ask for people to consider helping us make it possible for Dottie to have her leg repaired and rejoin our family.
