Mathilda is a 3-year-old Domestic Shorthair Cat in Thornhill, ON, who needs $2,000 for Surgery.

Mathilda was dropped off at a kill shelter with her hind leg dragging. She seemed in great pain as her leg appeared to be broken and she had some other injuries. She also appeared to have a blockage in her inner ear. She was dropped of by a stranger who knew that she could be euthanized and the shelter didn't even believe in her to give her a name. She was listed as "No Name".

We are a volunteer only rescue and when we saw Mathlida (listed at the kill shelter as No Name), we knew we had to save her. She first came to one of our temp foster homes as our clinic wasn't open until the next morning. Even in pain, she was sweet to every person and animal she met in the foster home. She's a little angel.

She is just a kitten that obviously when through some major trauma that included breaking her growth plate in her hind leg. And yet she is the sweetest girl. So loving and friendly. She is also very patient and calm. She loves to purr and play even with current limited mobility. She is a lover AND a fighter.

After being xrayed at our vet clinic, Bayview Park Animal Hospital, it was found that she had a broken growth plate. We were recommended to amputate as the other option of stabilization was far more expensive and not guaranteed to resolve the issue. We deal with a lot of tripod cats and they wonderfully. Mathilda came to us from a kill shelter where they didn't even bother to give her a name.

As a volunteer rescue with no government or corporate support, we are constantly limited on funds. Since COVID, vet prices have increased greatly making this surgery even more expensive as it requires a specialist. We know we can help her and find her an amazing home.
