Kiki is a six-month-old Domestic Shorthair in San Francisco, CA, who needs $1,500 for leg surgery after being struck by a lawnmower.

My cat's name is Kiki. I adopted her when she was 2 months old from Saving Grace Rescue. Kiki's right front leg was cut by a lawn mower and Saving Grace rescued her and healed her. She is now 5 months old. We named her Kiki because it just seem to fit her. When we saw her picture we fell in love with her especially her big eyes.

Kiki likes rubs and to be close to everyone. She is very playful and likes to hide places. We have a special bed for her but she likes sleeping on our beds and cuddle with us. At night she is good and knows that she sleeps by herself. Since we only have her, she gets a lot of hugs and kisses from us. She loves to rub against my legs in the morning when I am getting ready for work.

We were not prepare for such a major expense. We really want to heal Kiki so she is not in pain and she has been such a blessing to us Kiki means a lot to us. We want Kiki to be able to continue jumping & leaping.

Kiki needs surgery on the leg that the lawn mower cut her. The orthopedic surgeon, Dr. K. Tong of BluePearl Veterinary Partners said that her ulna is not growing because it closed prematurely. He hopes to make a small slit to release the bone so that it can come out. Because of this reason the radius (the other bone) is bending very badly because it is being tethered by the non growing ulna.

One thing Kiki likes is to find a go hiding spot and she loves to sit on window ledges. Kiki likes sunbathing too. When she wants to play with you and you are busy, she would lie down and wait for you to play. Also sometimes at night she will be running around like crazy.This makes me smiles and laugh. In the morning, Kiki would follow me around until I leave for work or someone else is awake.
