Help Maximus get Right leg amputation.Femur and femur ball — Jacksonville, FL

Maximus and I met on a rainy September morning when I rescued him as he was lying in a ball in the middle of the road. As he grew he never developed the survival skills cats need to survive outdoors. He was always supervised outdoors. He loved to play the role of a hunter by chasing lizards and butterflies. He feared nothing! He hardly ever ran or jumped like most all cats do. He was special.

On the evening of August 31st, he managed to escape our fenced in yard and we didn't find him until the next morning lying in some tall grass near his home. He was unable to move. I observed two bite marks on his right hind leg, and he was covered in blood. EveryPet is his care provider, and was treated for the bite marks and xrayed. His right femur was broken near the ball. Amputation is advised.

The relationship Maximus has with his humans is beyond words. We know that he is a special needs kittie that is always under supervision and observation whether he's indoors and more when he is outdoors. We love him like family, and want the best for him. He gazes at us often in his current condition as if asking us ....are you with me?... will you help me?.... Yes Maximus, we are right here baby!

Maximus is asking and we are asking for donations so Maximus can receive the surgery needed to remove his right leg. The money needed to do the surgery is completely out of our range. Our household is on a strict fixed income through social security disability. The cost of the surgery, medicine and aftercare will be around $2,000.00. Please help us help Maximus to carry on his life happily.
