Presley is a 4-month-old Domestic Shorthair kitten in Oakland, NJ, who needs $1,300 for urgent surgery.

Presley narrowly defied the odds after being attacked.

She was found lying on the street motionless and could only lift her head.

That's when Ramapo Bergen Animal Refuge heard about the kitten. The nonprofit group rushed her to an animal hospital. She was dehydrated with traumatic injuries to her back end – including a severely fractured femur, puncture wounds, a large abscess from her thigh to her tail, a painful abdomen, a fractured pelvis, and impacted stool.

"Presley's tiny body was failing at just four months old – the priority was stabilizing her. Her blood pressure was plummeting," Amy H., with the rescue group, tells Waggle.

Veterinarians feared she was in the early stages of sepsis. After a blood transfusion and medication, Presley finally stabilized. "We breathed a sigh of relief and hope," Amy says.

But now Presley needs your help to survive.

Presley needs two separate surgeries. One to repair her wounds and add drains before the infection worsens. The second operation will address her fractured leg, which is shattered without hope of repair and must be amputated.

Presley has a long road ahead, but today, she has something she has never had: YOU – a kind, dedicated community of supporters.
