Give Simon a Second Chance: Fund His Surgery

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Simon and my life with my new family began on August 6, 2025. I was only 3 weeks old. Some mean people took me away from my mom and threw me out of a moving vehicle. That broke both of my right legs, front and hind. I hurt so badly that I could not walk anymore. I cried for my mom, but she never came for me. Then a scary person found me and picked me up. I tried to run away but could not. She took me to a doctor and then to her home. My new mom fed me and made me feel safe. When I was 4 weeks old, I was happy again. I still hurt, but not as bad. Then my family took me to a different doctor, and they said my right front leg must be amputated. But that is okay because I cannot use it anyway. They also said my right hind leg needs surgery, or I would lose it too. That is harder because I cannot walk without that one. My family needs your help with the cost of my surgeries. The doctor says the surgeries and future appointments are estimated to be in the $10,000 range. My family saved my life that day in August and I promise I will be the best kitty ever. I thank everyone who reads my story and helps, even just a little. Prayer is always welcomed too. Thank you with all my love, Simon

After paying all the surgical and doctor bills, any unused money will be donated to the Pascoe Memorial Fund -- to support the emergency treatment of feline animal companions whose owners are financially unable to cover the costs with the University of Illinois Veterinary Teaching Hospital. They are the best!

Update: The full bill came out and we need $6,000. Update pictures coming soon!
