Patrick Needs Help (Intensive Care)

Donation protected
Hey Guys..

Paul & Taylor here,
Our Little boy, Patrick "The Hat Trick" is in Critical Condition at the vet as of this morning, JULY 26th, 2016. 

I woke up around 8:30am to a knock on the door. It was the building staff carrying horrible news.

"We think your cat fell down from the building and he is currently in the Intensive Care Unit." 

I didn't want to believe it at first but one look around the apartment and no sign of him. 9 stories and somehow he is alive but barely..
(Our view from the 9th story window) 

He is currently on life support, taking oxygen and fluids. His jaw is broken on both sides and his mouth pallet is split in two, but somehow the little trooper is still alive.

His lungs however are badly bruised, making it hard for him to breath. We are still unsure the extent of damage he's sustained but they are watching him overnight to make sure his internal injuries don't worsen.

As of right now he is too unstable to operate.

It was hard seeing him in trauma and not knowing what might happen to him, especially because he was there for me when I was really sick 

(Patrick & I Resting after my experience in the ER)

He will stay in the ICU for a few days and is going to need surgery to repair the bones in his jaw, face & any other unexpected injuries.

As you may know medical bills can be really expensive and although he is a cat and there may be nobler things to donate to, we don’t want to lose our little guy of 4 years…plus our pup (& patrick’s best friend) Milo would also miss him dearly. The two are practically inseperable. 



The vet gave us an estimate of $5,940.00 and we simply don’t have the means to currently pay that amount.

However, the Vet was also gracious enough to give us some time to come up with the money. We need the full amount by Tuesday, August 2nd of next week.

We hope that with your kindness we can reach this goal by tuesday.

So I ask you to dig in your couch cushions, skip one Starbucks coffee, use this as your goodwill or donate whatever you feel you can. 

We will Receive Every Penny with Grateful Hearts and hope and that in your giving, one day, we can return the favor in your time of need.

We will be sure to keep you all updated on his recovery

Thank you and much love!

P.S. If you’re in a place where you can’t give financially, please share this with your friends, family, and all Animal Lovers you may know.
