Lion's Reconstruction Surgery

Lion originally came to the shelter from a large scale hoarding situation with his mom and the rest of the litter.  He seemed like just another normal playful kitten.  He was adopted out as a kitten by a young family. They started to notice that he wasnt walking right as he grew older and things he used to be able to do like jump up or down he could no longer do.  As a little more time passed he progressed to not being able to use his back legs.  They brought him to our wellness center where it was realized that he has bilateral luxating patellas, bilateral luxated hips with severe osteoarthritis, his shoulder joints are abnormal, pretty much his entire skeleton system is abnormal, and he is a dwarf.  He also has severe muscle atrophy and may need physical rehabilitation.  Even with all of this going on he is super sweet and makes everyone smile!  The wonderful vets at Second Chance have talked and figured out a plan to give this wonderful kitty a new life.  It will be a long road that entails multiple surgeries but being that this little guy is only a few months old they expect that he will be able to live a normal life after these surgeries.  They plan to start by doing a corrective surgery on one hip and knee and then after he recovers they will repair the other hip and possibly knee.  This should give him back his mobility and allow him to live a normal and happy life.  For now he is getting medication and acupuncture.  Please help us raise this money so that we can start his first surgery!! We have had SO many major medical cases that we need to raise this money before we can start his surgery.  It would be a Christmas Miracle to raise this before xmas.  Every Pet Deserves a Second Chance and Lion is no different!
