Maki is a 1 year old Mix-Breed in West Salisbury, PA, who needs $2,000 for Medial Patellar Luxation Repair.

Meet Maki! Maki was the first cat that I'd adopted following the passing of my longtime cat, Mina. She's quickly bonded to me and become my little shadow. I adopted her when she was just 6 months old (she'll be 2 years old this year) and I love her to pieces.  She lives with my parents and I, as well as her adopted siblings; my dog, Milo, and two other cats, Marvel and Maggie.

Maki has luxating patellas in both of her hind legs. In other words, the kneecaps in both of her back legs, which are supposed to sit within a little groove, have slipped out of place or become dislocated. There are four grades of patellar luxation, 1-4, with 4 being the most severe. Maki, unfortunately, fits the criteria for grade 3. She's currently being treated at Ebensburg Animal Hospital.

My baby is genuinely the sweetest little girl. She loves treats, she loves to play (esp with toys that she can catch or bat around), she loves to tease the dog, and she follows me just about everywhere that she can. And although she doesn't enjoy pets as much as the other cats do, parallel play is one of her greatest love languages. She just wants to hang out and soak in all the love she can.

Unfortunately with not expecting her situation to be as bad as it wound up being, financially this is something that I'm really struggling with. I love her so, so much and just want to be able to give her the care and the life that she needs. Any help is greatly appreciated.
