Hi,
Thanks for coming to this fundraiser.
I feed about 10+ stray cats in-front of my family home on a daily basis at my own expense for the past 6 years. Few months ago we notice this male stray cat coming by for food. Judging his appearance and his behaviour we deemed he was either a stray or neglected by its owner.
Last week we noticed a large gash wound size of a palm festering on his lower back. After using a cat trap i managed to capture him and immediately brought him into the emergency vet at 12am. Got him assessed and on pain killers and antibiotics right away to ease the pain for surgery the following day. This alone costed $400.
This afternoon (30/01/23) Beans was brought into a private veterinary my family and i have used for the past 20 years. He was put under for the following treatment and procedure: desexing, scab removal, ear infection, teeth assessment, de-fleaing, de-matting fur, blood test and an attempt in closing the open wound.
Unfortunately the vet was only able to close slightly due to lack of skin. For the next few weeks he will be monitored carefully at home for till his open wound closes up itself. His blood work also came back FIV positive, this will impact his healing process significantly.
Luckily dental assessment went well, no decay, swelling or infections. Ear infection has also been treated. He will be on antibiotics and strong pain killers till next appointment in 10 days time.
He will be kept in a quiet room and monitor strictly for the next few days till his next check up appointment to remove his stitches and reassess the wound. The vet hinted he may require a second surgery in 1-2 months time in order to make sure the skin is well seal and protected.
Currently i have paid $2200 for just medical cost and $120 for foods, litter/ litterbox, beds, topical medicine, pee mats.
I am currently asking friends, family, clients and colleagues in hopes to find a family that wishes to adopt him. I do not wish to send him to a pound as the chances of euthanasia is quite high due to medical cost.
As i already have 3 senior cats myself thats i previously rescued that also have their own daily medical routine and cost. I would need your help to make sure Beans have a sustainable healing process and future.
Any donation received would be much appreciated.
