Lil Snoot is a kitten in Charleston, SC, who needs $640 for a hernia repair.

Lil Snoot was found in a bush outside a middle school, my girlfriend who’s a teacher at the school brought him home. Other than being under weight & a few scratches he seemed fine until we noticed his back left leg is very swollen. I took him to the vet immediately and it turns out that his intestines and kidney are slipping through the stomach lining (hernia). We would love to save and keep him.

We have two young dogs that have gotten along with him fantastically, they know he’s a baby and possibly even know he’s injured so they’ve been very gentle. Lil snoot spends most of his day sleeping and only gets up to eat and use the bathroom. So far he has been a great addition to our little family and can’t wait to see how it goes once his surgery is complete!

We would love to save Lil snoot and unfortunately a $1,140 vet bill is a bit to much for me and my girlfriend to afford at the moment. We are both in our mid 20’s with two puppies to take care of right now, it would mean a lot if we could keep him with us permanently as well

I took Lil snoot to James Island Veterinary Hospital on September 4th, he was given an ultra sound and it was determined his intestines and kidney are slipping through a hole that needs to be sealed. If the surgery is completed his chances are very high! He was also dewormed and given a vaccine during his initial visit to the vet.

It’s tough to say why he’s special other then getting a second chance at life considering he was abandoned in a bush by an owner or his mother (most likely). We want to give him a great long life along side two young puppies already in the house. He’s been a great fit and even though he’s 50 pounds less then our dogs he still stands his ground as a little kitten haha
