Please help us help Jonathan!

Jonathan was found in Philadelphia in a truly terrible state - his scalp had come off leaving a gaping wound on his head and he had deep cuts on his neck. He was taken to a local kill shelter by a good samaritan who didn't want him to have to suffer.
Unfortunately, we do not know how he came to have these injuries. Due to the severity of his injuries it was recommended that he be humanely euthanized. However, Project M.E.O.W. did not feel this was the right decision and took on his care. At 2 years old, Jonathan has faced a tremendous amount of tragedy so far and has a long way to go before he will be back to his normal self.
Jonathan is currently being treated with a new method, a synthetic fabric, that is sewed on his wound while he is under anesthesia. As the wound closes, the fabric is replaced with a smaller piece. This will allow for his wound to fully close in time, but it will take quite a few surgeries until his skin has fully regrown. Since this healing is itchy for Jonathan, he's been given an adorable hat to protect his wound while he heals.
As you can see, even though Jonathan has been through a lot so far he's still enjoying life and getting pampered while he's on the road to recovery. The expense of his multiple surgeries is adding up quickly and it will take about $2,300 for all of the surgeries he needs for his wound.
Poor Jonathan's ailments don't stop there though as this little man will also need some dental work which is on hold until his scalp is better. His dental extractions are estimated at $500 bringing the total cost of his medical treatment around $2,800.
Although this little man will take a lot of work, we want to give him every chance at a good life where he can be spoiled and protected. It is going to take a lot of hard work for us to bring Jonathan back to a happy, healthy cat. Please help us by sharing and donating if you can. Every single cent will make a difference! Thank you! <3
