Ace’s tail needs to be amputated. My family just pooled together every cent we had, literally, we opened our piggy banks and paid the font desk in ones and pennies, for a pain med they gave Ace without our permission- then held her hostage until we paid for it. The vet is planning to waive her fee of $600, and the Humane Society agreed to cover $400, but the clinic is still making us shelve out $500 for the amputation.
If I can’t raise this, Ace will be taken out of our care and either put to sleep, or given to the pound where they will likely decide to put her to sleep. We had some hope that the pound would keep her, but it looks like the cost would be too high for them to treat her, so they’d opt to euthanize her.
I am disabled and should be celebrating my 22nd birthday on the 28th of this month, but the only present I want is for my sweet, cuddly, loving Ace to live.
In case you haven’t heard her story from me yet; my one and a half year old cat, who I raised from the moment she was born, went missing for 5 days, then showed up outside my window with pelvis broken in 4 places, a broken tail, a sinus infection, severe kidney infection, and maggots all over her. The first thing the vet told us was that the prospects weren’t good. But she met the mile stones associated with a broken pelvis and tail and was given a green light. Then a giant blister formed that took up her whole right back end, and caused a massive gaping wound that they couldn’t close up. Miraculously, she’s made it this far without infection and has healed remarkably well- except her tail which is quickly dying. It will become gangrenous very soon if we don’t have it removed.
But if the tail is removed, she has a very high chance of survival!
My family pools together $1300 a month for a family of 3 disabled persons in one of the highest cost of living areas in Washington state. We’ve exhausted all loans and credit cards we qualify for and shaken down every extended family member and friend we could. Please, please, help Ace.
