Little Reggie's Life-Saving Surgery
Little Reggie was abandoned with his brother at a church when he was about 4 weeks old. He was born with a congenital birth defect called Pectus Excavatum a deformity of the sternum and costal cartilages which prevents him from breathing well. (See top video of him breathing.) He is now about 8 weeks old, but, without surgery, he will die.
The surgery will be performed by Dr. Bibevski at Hollywood Animal Hospital in Hollywood, Fl. Dr. Bibevski has experience with this type of surgery and believes that Little Reggie has a decent chance of making it and going on to live a normal life.
The surgery is estimated anywhere from $999-$1,600, which does not include the aftercare and the vet care he has already received. (Please note that we are only being charged hospital fees, not surgeon fee's as a courtesy because he is a stray. We do have plans for his adoption once he recovers.)
Please help us to save his life! Any amount, no matter how small, will help. Checkout our great thank-you gifts for donations starting at the $50 Level.
Little Reggie is so sweet, happy and playful! (You can see him playing with his brother on the video) but, it's so heartbreaking to watch how quickly he runs out of breath and tires easily, while his brother just goes on to play like a normal kitten.
Please donate anything you can to save his life. He deserves a chance at a normal life and the ability that we take for granted in ourselves and our beloved pets-the act of simply breathing! We will keep you posted on his progress. Thank-you.
