Slim is a 7-year-old in Hopewell junction , NY, who needs $1,415 for Surgical Procedure.

My pet came into my life 7 years ago when I was in high school. He didn't come from a specific rescue, but I did rescue him. He was found living in a shoebox that had poke holes in it so he could breathe. Once I saw his special eyes (one green, one blue) I knew I had to have him. My cat lives with me and my family and our 1 other cat and 2 dogs.

My pet sleeps where ever he can get himself comfy and be given lots of cuddles. He loves treats more than any other cat I have met, to the point where he puts his entire determination into opening the box of treats himself. One of his favorite things to do, besides getting all the ear scratches he can from me and napping, is playing on his large cat tree.

What makes me and my cat's bond so special is I got him when I was a teenager. I have had other pets before and after him, but I was his mom to him because I rescued him and brought him home, and gave him the best care I could as a scared little kitten. When I would find myself feeling sad or alone as a teenager in high school, I knew at the end of the day I always had my furbaby, Slim.

He is the most loving boy with the sweetest eyes. We are unsure of what exactly happened to slim but three days ago we found him unable to use his back right leg. Slim is in immense pain right now and he needs a surgical procedure to repair the damage to his leg which includes a broken fibula, bone fragments out of place.
He has been seen at Guardian Veterinary Specialists in Brewster, NY.

This situation is of course unexpected and financially straining, as I am currently a college student.
Amputation for my cat is the cheapest route, but to do what is best for him and his health is to do the surgery.
