Senor Ninja is a 12-year-old Mixed in Yonkers, NY, who needs $2,000 for Damaged Knee.

Senor Ninja came into this world on March 9, 2011. My daughter Patricia's boyfriend at the time, had a cat who had a litter of kittens and she was there when he was born. Ninja would sit and wait for her when she went to his house and eventually she brought him home to us. Ninja is a feisty cat and has always wanted to go outdoors. He lives up to his name and keeps the critters down in the area.

Ninja is a mush. He loves to be pet and sit on our laps. He is a big brother to Bonnie our dog and there are frequent grooming sessions when he is home with her. He definitely lets us know when he has had enough of us and when he wants to go outside. He has become quite the neighborhood cat and I know others have enjoyed his company on occasion. We all love him very much. He is family.

Ninja was a kitten and was raised by a chihuahua and our matron cat. He used to suckle on her when he was little and Bambi kept him in his place. When she tragically died, Bonnie came into his life and he became big brother to her. He loves to catch, mice, chipmunks, birds. Is is very afraid of loud noises especially fireworks and will hide under the bed for hours. He is also a polydactyl cat!

Ninja went out on Thursday evening and came limping back in when my husband took out the garbage. I could see his leg was badly injured and that he was in a lot of pain. We went immediately to the emergency vet and he has stifle luxation. The surgeon is at Animal Health Center at Veterinary Village and we will go for a consult 12/18.

We have no emergency funds at the moment and our credit is maxed out as our son just got married in November so we have no extra funds for surgery. Ninja is our handsome boy and Bonnie and the rest of the family will be devastated if he cannot be himself again. Please help!
