Shunt Surgery for Cid

Cid came to The Cat Connection last month after being brought in by a family who found him in their back yard. Cid is a sweet, young cat with severe cataracts and is considered blind (although he can see shadows, so he can still play)!

Last week, Cid was rushed to the emergency vet after experiencing neurological issues, including involuntary movements. It was determined that Cid likely has a brain malformation, and will need surgery to insert a shunt to allow him to lead a happy life.

Diagnosing the condition was very expensive, and surgery will cost even more - our bills are projected to cost over $15,000. This is, unfortunately, a large cost well outside of our budget for veterinary care.

We need your help to give Cid the best possible care so that he can get back to his search for a forever home. Thank you to all those volunteers, friends, and community members for donating, sharing, and helping us help Cid live his best life.

Any funds raised over the cost of Cid’s medical bills will go directly toward the care of other cats in our shelter.
