Salem is a 2 year old Maine Coon in Simi Valley, CA, who needs $10,000 for Femoral Head Osteotomy Unilateral Hip Surgery.

I purchased Salem from a reputable breeder after being scammed twice online. I have always had rescues. I have two rescues plus Salem my purebred. My cats are my family and want for nothing. I have perches everywhere and loads of toys for them.

Salem is 1-1/2 years old and has a fractured right hip and atrophied left hip. He is in pain and is on medication and scheduled for right hip HFO on 1/17. He will then be scheduled for his left hip.

He is a very loving animal and always likes to be around people. He grooms my 26 pound tuxedo on a daily basis. All my cats are friends and get along.

I am on a fixed income retired basically on Social Security. I will be 79 on the day Salem has his first surgery to improve his quality of life. It is very hard for him to jump up. The surgery is between $6078 to $7468 per hip.
