Mika Needs You: Urgent Care for Jaw Surgery
Donation protected
Hi everyone, (Graphic Warning‼️;
Mika’s aftermath of the situation is shown after she was returned back to me. not sure if she was hit or attacked on by another animal)
I’m reaching out for help with my sweet baby girl, Mika, she is about 11 months old who just went through an emergency surgery after a terrifying experience.
Early Tuesday morning around 3 AM, I came home from work, not realizing that Mika was waiting at the door to slip outside. An hour later, I noticed she was missing, and I spent all of Tuesday and Wednesday searching nonstop—my friends, family, and even my neighbors joined in to help find her.
Late last night, I finally got a call from someone who had found her. I was so relieved to have her back that I didn’t immediately notice anything wrong. She clung to me, holding on tightly, but when I got home, I heard a strange meow and saw that her jaw was dislocated. The right side of her face was bleeding, and it looked like she had been injured just a few hours before I got her. I rushed her to VEG (Veterinary Emergency Group), where they told me she needed immediate surgery to fix her jaw.
Mika is now recovering after getting her jaw wired back into place, but her hospital bills are adding up fast. The estimate started around $1,100 but with medication and additional procedures, the total has skyrocketed beyond that. I wasn’t prepared for such a sudden financial burden, but I couldn’t let Mika suffer.
I’m asking for any help—any amount makes a difference—to cover Mika’s surgery and care. She’s a strong little fighter, and I just want to make sure she heals properly after everything she’s been through.
If you’re able to donate or even just share this, I would be so incredibly grateful. Thank you for taking the time to read Mika’s story and for any support you can offer.
With love and gratitude, Kayli❤️.
