Rebecca is a 1 year old Mix-Breed in Fort Lauderdale , FL, who needs $1,000 for Eyelid Surgery and Heartworm Diagnostics.

Rebecca came to Operation Liberation from the Bahamas to receive the extra care she desperately needs. Rebecca has eyelid agenesis which is a congenital condition where her eyelids did not fully form.

This condition means Rebecca's eyes are lacking the protection eyelids provide and she is vulnerable to chronic irritation, corneal ulcers, squinting, and can even impair vision. Operation Liberation knew they had to step in and make sure Rebecca receives the necessary surgery to build eyelids for both eyes.

Rebecca also tested positive for heartworm, a rarity in cats. Cats are atypical hosts for heartworm and most worms do not survive to the adult stage. Unfortunately, there is no approved drug therapy for heartworm infection in cats. While most cats are able to clear the heartworms, they may incur permanent damage. Rebecca will need numerous x-rays to track the progression of the heartworms.

Operation Liberation takes in cases like Rebecca that require extra care and attention; they are determined to give every animal a chance at a pain-free, happy life. Please consider donating and helping Rebecca on her healing journey!
