Help Reximus the Majestic Get His Surgeries! ❤️
Donation protected
UPDATE: Finally! Rex is fixed ❤️ what a long, stressful journey this has been. We appreciate everyone looking out for our Rex. you guys are amazing. Stay golden!
I am setting an additional goal, rather than making a new go fund me. This is for cost of surgery ONLY! Can be donated directly to vet (once I get this situation squared away)
The original $5700 ONLY covered standard procedures over a week period of time. And with over 5 vet clinics and emergency clinics… we had about $800 left in Rex account. I have done the math and the added amount would be down to the dollar.
Rex is not a careless cat, someone intentionally set out to hurt him. And because of some ruthless punk Rex has to suffer, we have to hurt for him. It’s just not okay. SMH. I DO NOT understand how I was charged so much for so little care.
Rex needs 2 surgeries.
The 1st one being His jaw. It is broken right down the middle and has to be wired together in order to heal properly. During this surgery they will also address and fix any missing/broken teeth (4 teeth total)
This 1st surgery is an entire day long.
The second procedure will take place after he has healed. He will then get work done on his hip and foot.
These surgeries will cost “ball park $4400 give or take, and that is due at time of service”
Maybe someone rich and famous will see this and Rex will get lucky and get the surgeries he needs just kidding.
But seriously… I’m going to leave the fundraiser up. I’m going to adjust amounts and other necessary info, but it does no harm keeping the GFM to get to what Rex needs
Well guys, Thanks for following our story and trying to help. Rex was not able to receive the survey yet. (Ya I know 6k is a lot of money, but we already had over 4k into this!… that’s still not enough left over to cover another $4400.00 Vet/surgery bill. & I don’t do well mentally with hate mail, so I leave you with this. -it doesn’t cost anything to be kind-
Sorry for the temporary bad news.
Happy Monday 2/12/2024! Let’s hear some amazing Rex updates! Dr. Von is doing the surgery tomorrow, Rex is eating solid and wet food, using litter box. He isn’t stumbling around anymore and doesn’t seem as in as much pain. He was jumping around yesterday like a little kitten and it made my heart so happy I couldn’t help but to cry. I couldn’t imagine my life without my animals. Before I had a family, my furbabies were all I had. There’s nothing I wouldn’t do for them.
I would also like to follow up about the donations. If Rex doesn’t utilize all his funds, I’m wanting to donate the remainder to the Dr doing the surgery, to help out another family that may be tight in finances.
The world truly is such a beautiful place when we can just stop and appreciate how good we really do have it
Good morning family. Rex will be having surgery next week! Dr. VON W also in Corvallis on Tuesday!!! 2 more days and our baby will be on the road to recovery! 2/11/2024
On the road to recovery ❤️

Update as of 02/09/2024 4:49a.m.
Rexington is currently awaiting treatment at Town & Country Vet Clinic in Corvallis***.
It appears his injuries are worse then the previous 4 vets has suggested. He is currently comfortable at the clinic. As soon as they open I will call in for a status update so I can update Rexys internet family. ❤️
We got this guys.
Rex you got this buddy! Pup cups everyday!
02/08/24- It has been literally impossible to sleep these past few days. I just can’t seem to take my eyeballs of my sweet boy.
Please save my baby
Update- surgeon refused to help rex. He was not willing to wait for the go fund me, I didn’t have enough cash money to cover everything, so they turned us away. Before we left they told me I needed to sign a waiver saying “I refused advice under the care of doctors and are leaving when you should be paying for surgery “ I kindly smiled and reminded her that at no point in time did I refuse care for Rex, I did however remind her that it was their financial practices that prevented a young kitten to continue living his best life.
I have people messaged me privately very hurtful things. Like in a scam, my cat is fake and what have you. I am none of those things. I am a mother of 3 humans and 3 cats who sadly lost her job last year and has t been able to find stable work due to availability in daycare.
I do not mind if anyone would like to call me and talk to me.
Update: Rex is out of ICU and currently awaiting to see the surgeon to repair his face.
They said they need $4000-$7000 before they even try to help Rex.
His appointment is tomorrow 7am. To repair his jaw, teeth and eye
I have been asked by a few of my biggest supporters to add my Venmo info for people who may use that and want to help. I will attach a photo on the post. All my love
Again I’m available to work odds and ends, cleaning, anything that’s gross that you don’t want to I’ll do it!
We are currently awaiting treatment here at Oregon Veterinary Dental Specialists Lake Oswego
Fundraiser won’t allow me to post their number
They are currently accepting donations for Rex at this time ️❤️☮️☯️☪️♌️♾️♠️♥️♠️
Due to continued ICU care, I may need to adjust our goal amount. I’ll update asap
Hello my name is Shay, I’m fundraising for 2 amazing young boys, Tyler and Jacob who have recently started going through the hardest thing for them to date. Their handsome 18lb Maine Coon was viciously attack this evening by and angry bitter neighbor. The neighbor kicked in our sweet Rex face. We rushed him into Ash creek, after $149 we left with zero answers or help and one pain shot for Rex. Then we were sent on our way to Portland, however the new place charges $150 up front… total price to wire his jaw and put it back where it goes and to fix all other life altering issues… I can’t even stomach it. I e called police and filed a report.
this poor cat cannot eat, or even use his tongue. He has to be fed through a tube and given water through a dropper. He cannot chew and is missing teeth. This poor cat got the shit beat out of him for no reason.
we are not sure how long he has. We don’t know if he has any internal bleeding, not any info at all. We spent everything we had in this first appointment and all the supplies Rex would need. My boys would be devastated if they lost their fur brother. We all would.
- Rex is the most friendly soft spoken huge kitty at heart. He has been there for my boys his whole life. He has bc their emotion support Rex. When the boys are feeling sad or bad, Rex senses it immediately and runs to his boys to soothe them. These kids have lots so much, I can’t bare for them to lose there best friend. Their familiar
There is no greater love than what these boys have for their furry brother.
I am also available for bartering.
Basic housecleaning
Deep cleaning
You name it, we can do it!
Please help these boys save their best friend life.
And this is what someone did to Rex and left him for dead. Broken jaw busted eye socket permanent blindness.
