Help Yukio Recover: Support Her Vet Bills

Meet Yukio "Chance", a stray that I've adopted. A couple of Sunday's ago, I was driving on a parallel road next to the highway where I saw what appeared to a bag in the middle of the road. As I got closed to it, I saw that it was a kitten who was crying for help, who had survived being hit by a car. I pulled over and went to check on it to see if its condition, and although alive it was not moving at all and in particularly it had a laceration on its left arm and was not able to walk on its own. I picked the kitten up and drove to a Pet ER to see if they could help it. The only thing they asked was if I would take financial responsibility for it, as they would not do anything unless I agreed. I figured I couldn't leave the poor cat in its state, so I agreed to help. They did x-rays and found no fractures but noticed that its arm was swollen and the cat didn't want to put any pressure on it. They told me to stich the laceration, they would have do surgery, so I asked for them to put a cast on it so that I could take her to my vet the next day.

Next day, I took her to my vet and they performed the surgery but noted that it was still not putting any weight on its left leg and found the shoulder to be completely dislocated. They suggested an amputation, but I signed up for a laser treatment to help heal the laceration at their recommendation. The poor kitten kept on dragging its leg around and on the next day it started to smell. I took her to get a second opinion with a different vet and they unfortunately agreed that amputation was the best choice. So I paid for that surgery as well. Thus, she is now a tripod cat.

Yukio is now living with us and learning to fit in (I already have 2 cats and 2 dogs that have grown accustomed to her). I hope to make this a forever home for her and even though its been a costly endeavor I'd like to think that she wouldn't have survived on her own in the middle of road had I not taking her in.

She has recovered post surgery and is doing quite well. She likes to climb on my shoulder to watch some shows! Given the large expense, in order to help pay for the sum of all the vet bills, I hope donors can help with what they can. I have all the receipts collected. Thank you for reading!
