Tiger is a 1-year-old Domestic Shorthair in Canton, OH, who needs $1,887 for symphyseal osteotomy.

All my family's cats have come in as rescues. even when I say "no more", my kids will bring me an animal in need and I don't have the heart to turn anyone away. The latest rescue came with some medical issues. I told my 11 yo we should turn him over to the humane society or a rescue, but those two bonded really fast. So here I am trying to figure out how to get him the medical care he needs.

My youngest kiddo brought in a kitten last winter and "hid" him in his room. The two of them bonded really quickly. The kitten is just the sweetest lil baby, even in pain he doesn't lash out. The vet techs at the ER said he was sucking his own paw rather than biting any of them. With his injuries he isn't very kitten like; he doesn't run, jump or play but he will snuggle on your lap all day long.

This kitten has taken us on quite a journey. With all the medical treatment up to this point I just don't have the money for the next surgery. I told my kiddo we couldn't afford it but he's so heartbroken I have to try.

Dr. Owen at Yellow Creek Animal Hospital is the most amazing vet ever. He has done the best to meet us where we are and still give the kitten the best care. We started out with a broken leg requiring 2 surgeries and follow ups. It healed well but we just discovered a second issue, the growth plates in his hips are damaged so he requires another surgery.

Tiger is a silly baby and a super snuggler. Even when he isn't feeling well he just wants all the love. He has bonded with my 11 year old and is "his cat". My kiddo is heartbroken that his cat needs care and he doesn't want to have to give him away to a rescue, so I am doing everything I can to get the funding together for his treatment.
