Fundraiser for Kitten hit by car on 36th and Taft

Increasing the fundraiser to $1,450 to cover the fee GoFundMe Charges. So the full $1400 will go to Hendrick's Vet Hospital where he is receiving care for his leg.

Hi my name is Brooke. Last night (August 16th) around 7:15P I was driving home on 36th with my kids, I was listening to their story and all of the sudden I watched a kitten run into the road and get ran over by a car. I immediately hit the breaks, put on my flashers and ran out to grab this poor kitten. He was dragging his legs with the most horrible cry I’ve heard.

Fortunately I have a friend that lives near by that is a vet at a local clinic here. She told me to bring him over immediately and was ready to work on him as soon as we pulled up. She knew immediately his back right leg was broken and gave him pain meds to take away the immense pain he was feeling. She kept him over night and brought him into their clinic this morning.

His leg is severely broken so the recommended treatment is amputation of his leg. This will be done tomorrow (August 18). We are trying to find his owners but are moving forward with his surgery and hoping to raise funds towards his bills. His bill would be much more expensive but my friend is discounting her services to help get him fixed up. Anything helps and we are looking forward to getting him on the mend, if we can’t find his family he’ll go to a rescue that will facilitate his adoption to a good home.

Thank you everyone and please be vigilant on the roads. ‍⬛
