Sullivan is a 5-year-old Black Cat in Huntington, WV, who needs $2,000 for Emergency Jaw Surgery.

A Good Samaritan contacted One By One Animal Advocates, saying Sullivan was a stray that lived around her house. The lady didn't notice anything for awhile until she picked Sullivan up and the smell of infection was so strong... that's when she noticed his jaw was crooked. One By One Animal Advocates immediately reacted and sent poor Sullivan to the vet.

Despite being a stray, Sullivan is very sweet and not at all feral. He has adapted to living indoors quite nicely. The vet said he was approximately 5 years old and his injury is likely related to being kicked in the face and not hit by a car. Amazingly, he is still so sweet.

Sullivan was also covered in fleas and had a heavy burden of intestinal parasites. Our vet treated for fleas, dewormed him, and checked his blood work. They had to hospitalize him on pain meds and antibiotics until he was stable enough for surgery, which he had on September 14th. Our vet said it was a very old fracture (so he had been living like that for some time!). He freshened up the fracture edges and drilled holes to accommodate a stainless steel wire. The fracture was aligned to near normal and stabilized with the wire. Sullivan's jaw alignment is a little off but that was from the original trauma and healing. Our vet felt that Sullivan would do very well once healed.

However, our foster noted over the weekend that Sullivan's jaw did not look right and he wouldn't stop meowing despite pain meds! One by One sent him back to the vet for sedation and X-Rays. Unfortunately, the orthopedic wire had come loose so he had surgery #2 to remove the wire and install an orthopedic plate.

Sullivan is being sent to his foster home on antibiotics, more pain meds, and has to eat watered down canned food.
