Tombo is a 5-month-old Domestic Shorthair Cat in Las Vegas, NV, who needs $2,000 for Right Sacroiliac Luxation Fracture Repair.

I found Tombo in the middle of a busy road crawling on 8/22. I thought he was just scared by the oncoming traffic while crossing, but when I stopped to help, I noticed he was dragging his back legs. I took him straight to my vet, and found out he was a stray. The sad news is after the X-ray, it shows that his hip is broken in 3 parts and needs to be taken to a special clinic for hip surgery.

After scheduling with the special clinic, Tombo spent two nights with us. once he was fed and taken painkillers, he was eager to explore, disregarding how he couldn’t put any weight on his legs. His purring would resonate throughout the room when I petted him and fed him. Me and my roommate fell in love with him right away, we have to save him.

He has a strong fighting spirit, yet cries out at night when he’s feeling lonely. I see the little explorer in him, he's also very calm when my dog tries to see him. Even though we only met for 2 days, I wanted to provide him with a life and a safe home

Tombo is a stray who got into a hit-and-run, and I want to save his life. I took him to LVVSC, the doctor estimated Tombo’s age to be around 4-5 months because his growth plate was still there. The doctor will put screws to attach the broken parts, given the age, he expects him to have a full recovery

The special surgery isn’t cheap, it is almost 5k, we need this surgery, he can’t heal on his own. I’m using my emergency funds to save his life, and I believe it’s the right thing to do. Tombo is still a baby, and I want to provide him with the life he deserves
