Hello, and thank you for taking a moment to read Felix’s story. I never imagined I would need to ask for help like this, but today I am reaching out with hope in my heart.

I don’t have a wide circle of friends who can easily share this fundraiser.

Building close friendships has always been difficult for me. I live with ADHD and I am currently undergoing assessment for autism, which means my world has always been smaller and quieter than most.

But it has never been empty.

My cats and my dog are not “just pets”.

They are my companions, my constant presence, my safe place in a world that often feels overwhelming.

They are the ones who stay, who don’t judge, who simply are.

Felix is one of them.

Until recently, our days were filled with small, ordinary moments — quiet routines, familiar sounds, the comfort of simply being together. Then everything changed.

Felix suffered serious injuries, including a dislocated hip and a fractured pelvis.

Seeing him in pain, struggling to move, unable to do the simplest things that once came naturally to him, has been heartbreaking beyond words.

The vet was honest with me.

Surgery is the only chance for Felix to live without pain.

Without this operation, his life would be defined by constant suffering — something I could never allow for an animal who depends on me completely. Hearing this was devastating, but it also made one thing clear: I have to fight for him.

Felix has veterinary care.

He has been referred to specialist orthopaedic surgeons.

There is a treatment plan and a real chance to help him.

What we are missing is the financial support to make this surgery possible.

Asking for help does not come easily to me. My instinct has always been to manage quietly on my own.

But Felix trusts me with his life, and I cannot turn away when he needs me the most.

This fundraiser is not about prolonging suffering.

It is about giving Felix the chance to live without pain — with dignity, comfort and joy again.

If you are able to help, or simply share Felix’s story, you are giving him a chance that I cannot give him alone.

Updates

We will be sharing veterinary documentation as part of this fundraiser, including:

X-ray images showing the extent of Felix’s injuries

a referral note or email from our vet confirming the need for specialist surgery

Because Felix requires specialist orthopaedic treatment, the overall costs are expected to be significant.

At this stage, the exact cost of surgery is not yet known.

The final treatment plan and written cost estimate will be provided after Felix is assessed by the referral orthopaedic specialists and will be added here as soon as it is available.

We will continue to share open and honest updates throughout Felix’s treatment and recovery.

Every contribution will be used solely for Felix’s veterinary care, surgery, recovery, and associated medical costs.

What happens if more is raised than needed?

If the total amount raised exceeds Felix’s final treatment costs, any remaining funds will be donated to PDSA, to help other animals receive veterinary care when their owners cannot afford it.

A few final words

Whatever the outcome, knowing that people care has already meant more than I expected.

Your support gives Felix a real chance, and that is something I will never forget.
