REX is a 1-year-old Main Coon Mix Cat in Kannapolis, NC, who needs $2,000 for Amputation.

Rex was found starving and alone as a baby by a rescue 2 and a half hours from me. They took him in and put him up for adoption. I was approved to adopt him, but received an email shortly after saying he had stomatitis. They suggested I look for another pet, but my heart was already with Rex. I waited another month before I was able to go and get my baby. He is now in a loving forever home.

Rex loves to interact with all the family members, as he is overly affectionate and needs constant attention, which we love and soak up as much as we can. He loves to play and cuddle with the kids. He tries to love and cuddle our other cat, but she is not so accepting. Gia has so much patience with Rex, as he don't give up trying to be her friend. Rex is a friend to all, human and animal.

Rex is such a sweet, overly affectionate cat who loves to constantly rub on you and snuggle. He loves to sleep with me and on me. He is always laying on my lap and following me everywhere. He like to play chase the string or ball with the kids. He loves his bed and toys very much. My favorite is how he loves to jump in the car, lay on my lap and go for a ride to pick the kids up from school.

Rex snuck out one morning in the mix of getting 3 children out the door. My neighbor called to tell me he was attacked by 2 dogs. Thankfully he wasn't injured severely. I took him to the vet and they told me his elbow was dislocated. I was referred out to a specialist. He saw us both and gave us our options with all pros and cons available for each. An amazing vet!

This is for sure an unexpected financial strain on me as a single mother of 4 , who don't have much in savings. What I had was already used for the initial vet visit, x-rays and pain meds. To get Rex help would mean the world to us, he is our family member.
