Help Tink get ear hematoma surgery & diagnostics — East Hartford, CT

Tink didn’t just come into our lives — she chose us. During a TNR at 9 months old, she stepped out of the trap and walked straight into our home and directly into our hearts. She’s now 11, a sweet, gentle, quiet girl who has spent her whole life giving love and comfort to our family.

Tink has a recurring ear hematoma worsened by her heart condition and blood thinners. Two aspirations failed, and she’s now in pain and at risk of losing hearing. Our vet, Dr. Pina, says surgery is the only way to stop the swelling and protect her ear.

Tink has been with us almost her whole life, a quiet, loving presence who chose our home during a TNR. She comforts everyone in our family and has been a source of peace for years. Her recovery matters because she’s not just a pet — she’s a part of our hearts.

We’ve done everything we can for Tink, but her surgery and diagnostic costs are beyond what we can handle right now. Our CareCredit is maxed from recent vet bills, and my medical situation makes it harder. We’re asking for help because Tink needs care we can’t provide alone.
