Pigeon chest surgery for a Worm

Hello, my name is Jolt, and my partner (Luci) and I are raising funds for our 3-month-old kitten, Worm.

Worm is a grey tabby and is a very affectionate and mischievous kitten. She likes to climb onto my shoulders to sit and watch when I'm cleaning the litter box. She also picks fights with her sister and then immediately cries for help when Khalya retaliates. She enjoys making biscuits and if she was older she could become a famous baker and afford to pay her own bills. Or a kitty gangster, whichever career choice she makes.

Worm was born with a pigeon chest (pectus excavatum) and was abandoned, alongside her sister Khalya, in my backyard. We've bottle-fed the two since day one and love them dearly. We've been doing our best to take care of Worm, she's had to stay in an incubator with running oxygen for most of her life. Unfortunately, the pigeon chest only worsens as it keeps growing inwards and there is no way to avoid surgery. We're raising funds for the surgery and possibly the recovery afterward.

We've talked to a surgeon who estimates the surgery at $3,500, not including any medications or aftercare treatment. We have gotten some donations already and raised 1,500, we just need some help to raise the rest!

We'd appreciate any and all help we could get, thank you ♥︎
