Help Mr. Crusty get eyelid repair surgery

Donation protected
Please help Mr. Crusty—a kitty who needs surgery for both his eyes and mouth. This gentle giant has been living outside for months, unable to see. After hard work, he was finally brought inside in January, when we discovered he has several broken teeth and a condition called entropion eyelids (meaning his eyelids have permanently rolled inwards, so his lashes are constantly rubbing against the surface of his eyes). Untreated, entropion leads to corneal ulcers and can eventually lead to blindness, as well as causing significant pain, swelling, irritation and recurring eye infections.

Despite the fact that Mr. Crusty must be in near-constant pain, he is a sweet and friendly boy who is so relieved to be finally indoors. Any donations are greatly appreciated, and will go to cover the costs of his surgeries and initial veterinary exam.

Details about the surgery and costs below, including photos of his bills:

  • Initial veterinary visit: $55
  • Surgery (dental, eyelids): $1,470 (scheduled for Feb 2, 2024).
