Kitty's Veterinary Bills

Donation protected


Hi! My name is Roberta. I am a graduate student living in Philadelphia, and I am raising money to help pay for my cat's leg amputation and spay surgery.

Last week, I found Kitty locked in an abandoned playground with a severely injured paw. She was stuck behind a tall metal fence, limping around, and crying for help. Unable to abandon her, I wrapped her in a pillowcase and rushed to the nearest animal hospital.


After examination, the veterinarian found that Kitty needed an emergency leg amputation. A metal wire had been wrapped around her paw, cutting off the circulation, and leaving her leg gangrenous. The vet also discovered that Kitty was pregnant, despite being only 12 months old. At the time of her leg amputation, the veterinarian could not also perform a spay surgery because Kitty was too weak to undergo two procedures at once.


After her leg amputation, I brought Kitty home to recover. Each day, Kitty gains a little bit more strength and a LOT more sass. She enjoys hopping around my apartment, and meowing for treats. To me, it seems like Kitty knows that her days on the streets are finally over.



I did not anticipate adopting a cat, nor do I have the financial means to cover her veterinary bills. Yet, it has become evident that the Cat Distribution System has worked its magic. Kitty's resilience and three-legged journey has touched my heart, and I wanted to share her inspiring journey with others.

I am truly grateful for any support you can offer to cover her veterinary expenses. Your contributions will directly benefit her well-being and provide her with a second chance at a happy, healthy life. On behalf of Kitty, Thank YOU.

Kitty is heading to the vet on Monday to get her staples out. The doctor is also going to check on her pregnancy and overall health. Fingers (and paws) crossed for good news.
