Help Papaya get his life back

Donation protected
4/9/24 - This GoFundMe is now closed. Again, I cannot thank you enough for your support, whether it was a contribution, posting words of support or encouragement, or sharing the fundraiser. Papaya is slowly but surely on his way to recovery, and once he is medically cleared, will be up for adoption through Louie's Legacy Animal Rescue. My heart is full of gratitude to one and all.

UPDATE: Louie's Legacy Rescue has come on board and will be assisting with care needs, and more importantly, screening future potential adopters to get Papaya into his new furever home. When his recovery is complete and he is adoption ready, I will share his profile. Again, MANY thanks for all your support!


As many of you know, I am an animal lover. Today, while working, I encountered a family who had come out of their home and found this guy in their driveway, in the rain. Overcome with emotion, they did not know what to do. I took one look at him and knew he needed medical help. Working together, we created a "cat crate" out of a shopping basket and a piece of cardboard. Using this, they were able to transport him to a nearby vet, who immediately took him in. As serious as his injuries were, this guy remained calm and cooperative throughout the exam. His injuries are serious, and will require some reconstructive surgery.

If there is one thing I know about the people of Staten Island, we love our fur babies. This guy has a long road to recovery, but with your help we can get him moving. Any amount will help. The staff at GVSI already adore Papaya (the name he was given there),and are looking forward to helping him get started on his recovery. Thank you for reading, for caring, and for donating!
