Introducing Fajr
Imagine meeting a stray cat near a dumpster, his fur soiled and matted, basking in the sunlight amidst a busy street. That's where my friends and I found Fajr. From the moment we saw him, we knew he needed us. His name, Fajr, meaning “first light," perfectly captures his spirit - despite his hardships, he radiates warmth and affection.
Fajr immediately melted our hearts, showering us with headbutts and love. We couldn't leave him there. Rushing him to emergency care, we discovered he had a microchip registered with NYC Second Chance Rescue, forcing us to surrender him. But our connection was undeniable. We reached out to the rescue, and by some miracle, they agreed to let us adopt Fajr. Our relief was immeasurable. Finally, he'd be safe with us, never to endure hardship again.
However, our joy was short-lived. The next day, we learned Fajr wasn't healthy. Tests revealed he suffers from hyperthyroidism, leaving him severely underweight, weak, and lethargic. Worse yet, he had a seizure, hinting at a deeper brain issue. We pleaded for an MRI, but the resources weren't available. Desperate, we called every animal hospital in the area, only to realize we couldn't afford the $5000-7000 price tag.
Fajr's been with us for a week, enduring four seizures. Our hearts ache seeing him suffer. This GoFundMe is our last resort, as we have exhausted all other financial resources. My friends and I are full-time college students who believe that Fajr deserves the best quality of life and we need your help. Fajr is a fighter, a symbol of resilience, and he deserves a second chance.
All parts of Fajr’s story can be corroborated with photos, videos, and vet visit summaries. Our goal is $10k due to the unknown treatment Fajr will need after (hopefully) receiving his MRI including medication, treatment, hospitalization, and any other health issues that arise. Fajr also has hyperthyroidism and any additional funds will be allocated to covering the cost of bloodwork and medication.
Your donation can change Fajr's life. While individual contributions may appear insignificant, each donation, no matter the size, carries significant impact. If every person reading this were to donate, Fajr could promptly access the medical attention he urgently needs. Every contribution brings us closer to affording the care he needs to thrive. Cats, like dogs, deserve proper healthcare. They're equally loving and sweet when given a true chance at life. Please, help us give Fajr that chance.
All contributions are greatly appreciated. If you are unable to donate, we understand. We thank you for taking the time to get to know Fajr's story. Please consider sharing Fajr's story so that more people get the chance to meet our beloved and resilient Fajr to change his life for the better.
