Help Save Pumpkin – Emergency Surgery & Mounting Vet Bill

Help Save Pumpkin – Emergency Surgery & Mounting Vet Bills

Pumpkin has been my son's best friend since the day he held him for the first time. At just two months old, this tiny, orange ball of fur nestled into his arms, trusting him completely. My son promised to love and protect him always. But now, Pumpkin is fighting for his life, and my son is left heartbroken, watching helplessly as his best friend suffers.

It all started when the shelter required Pumpkin to be neutered before he could be officially adopted. My son, always doing the right thing, brought him in for surgery at just five months old. But something went terribly wrong. They removed only one testicle, leaving the other undetected. Instead of answers, Pumpkin came home with a painful wound and an infection that nearly broke him. My son nursed him day and night, whispering promises that everything would be okay.

Then, the shelter called again. Another surgery was needed—they had to try again. Trusting their expertise, my son took Pumpkin back, believing this time they would do right by him. But they didn’t. They operated, leaving a brutal five-inch incision on his tiny body, and still, they couldn’t find the missing testicle. They cut him open—again—without being sure. My son’s heart shattered as he brought Pumpkin home, his tiny body weak, his eyes filled with pain and confusion.

Then, the fever hit.

Pumpkin's small body burned at 106°F, his little chest rising and falling in agony. We rushed him to the emergency vet, praying he would survive. The doctors said his condition was critical—his body was shutting down from the trauma, and he needed yet another emergency surgery. They admitted him immediately, and we were left outside, staring at the doors that separated us, powerless to help.

The medical bills are piling up, crushing us under their weight. My son has reached out to the shelter for help, pleading for the support Pumpkin deserves, but there has been only silence. And now, he is left carrying this burden alone—watching his best friend suffer, desperate to save him.

We can’t do this alone.
