About this campaign

Meet sweet Joshua - a loving cat who is facing several challenges. Recently rescued from a rural shelter because he is FIV positive, Joshua is now in need of urgent help to regain his quality of life.

A veterinary ophthalmologist confirmed what was suspected: Joshua has entropion, a condition where his eyelids curl inward, causing his lashes to rub against his eyes. This painful condition makes it difficult for him to see clearly and leads to constant squinting. The good news? Surgery can correct this issue and give Joshua the chance he deserves to live a happy, comfortable life!

Joshua is a gentle soul who has already shown incredible strength. His journey hasn’t been easy, but with your support, we can ensure he gets the medical attention he desperately needs. The surgery to correct his entropion will not only relieve his pain but also help him thrive.

Imagine Joshua, free from pain and seeing the world with clear eyes! Your contributions, no matter how small, will make a significant difference in his life.

Update 12/5/24:
Joshua's surgery went extremely well! The vet is happy with how he is healing and removed his stitches. He is officially cone free! He will continue drops in his eyes for one more week. We are hopeful his recovery will continue to go smoothly!
