Comet is our 8-year-old cat, and we are heartbroken watching her go through this. We took her to the animal hospital because she was clearly in pain, and after seeing the discomfort she was showing and reviewing her X-rays, they referred us to a specialist. That is when we learned it was worse than we first thought. She can’t walk without having pain and instability in both legs, and she has a loss of muscle mass in both legs due to her not being able to use them correctly. She has a double ACL tear and now needs to have surgery to create a stable placement in her knees due to the lack of the stability the tendon would have given, and we are doing everything we can to help her get the care she needs.

My fiancé at the time, and now my husband, Collin, and I just got married and used a good portion of our savings on that, so we do not have the funds we thought we would for what we initially thought this would cost. We are asking for help and support for Comet so she can have a chance to heal and be more comfortable again. She is still a young, adorable, personable kitty who loves to play. The surgeries cannot be done at the same time, so she will have the first surgery and then four weeks later the second surgery. It will take eight weeks per side to heal, and eight weeks after the second surgery she will be able to begin physical therapy. Her full recovery is expected to take at least six months. The funds from this fundraiser will go toward her surgeries, recovery care, and physical therapy as she heals over the coming months. Comet means so much to our family, and it is incredibly hard to see her struggling with pain every day. If you are able to give, share, or keep Comet in your thoughts, it would mean so much to us. Thank you for helping us give our sweet cat the best chance at recovery.
