Hello! My name is Tanya and I am fundraising for my dog walker and animal-loving friend, Hailey.

In October 2025, Hailey spent an entire week working tirelessly to rescue a feral cat and her two babies. She was successful and she decided to keep one of the kittens (named Hazel in honour of the Toronto Blue Jays!). Hazel is an eight-month old precious kitten; she is a bundle of love and unstoppable energy! She has been living a happy life with Hailey since her rescue!

However, tragedy struck on Apr 26th. Being the sassy and brave risk-taker that she is, Hazel had a terrible accident. She fractured her growth plate in her back leg and, sadly, she needs to have the leg amputated

Hazel is currently in a lot of pain and heavily medicated; her surgery is scheduled to take place on May 11th. Hailey wants to move forward with this operation so that Hazel can survive this ordeal and learn to be an adorable tripod kitty! However, she is struggling to pay for the costs and is looking for some support to pay the veterinarian's bill (Hazel's surgery, medications, and her after-care).

Any amount that anyone could provide to help Hazel get through this painful moment in her sweet little life would be greatly appreciated. No amount is too small. Your contribution toward Hazel's operation, healing, and recovery will help this sweet kitten immensely . Much gratitude to all. ‍⬛
