Lars Lumbrix is a 3-year-old Tabby Cat in Louisville, KY, who needs $2,000 for Laceration Surgery.

We adopted Lars when he was only 6 weeks old after he was born on a Boy Scout camp run by a friend’s parents. Last summer, we started allowing him to explore outside, at our vet’s recommendation, to help provide exercise and mental stimulation.

Ever since he was small enough to fit in the palm of our hands, Lars has been the sweetest boy. He loves to cuddle, chirp at birds, follow us from room to room, and make funny sounds; he steals the hearts of all our friends when they come over. He has been slower to warm up to our other cat, Prue, but they will often sleep on the same cozy blanket with only a few inches of space between them.

Lars is the hardest worker in the biscuit factory! He loves to get under the covers to snuggle when it’s cold outside. Like a dog, he turns around three times before settling down to sleep. He’s obsessed with people food, especially yogurt and oat milk!

Lars was attacked by a pit bull in our neighborhood on Thanksgiving morning. He is now in an emergency animal hospital being treated for a laceration that will require sutures and a drain. Lars has also had a hard time with anxiety this year, and we’re worried that this will really set him back.

We’re fortunate to have 2 stable incomes, but the Jefferson Animal Hospital Emergency Center quoted a bill of up to $2500 to get Lars back in tip-top shape. This isn’t something we budgeted for this year, and we’ve had other unexpected expenses that make this a real stretch.
