Mitzvah the cat needs surgery and a mitzvah.

Donation protected
My husband was managing a feral cat colony at his work in Brooklyn. We TNRed, fed, and sheltered 30 cats. The property was sold, and their home was going to be destroyed. We trapped them all, and they are now living their best lives indoors in upstate NY where we now live. All but a handful have been tamed, and many are seniors with medical issues. We do our best to give them the best life possible.

4 years ago, my husband became completely disabled with Parkinson's Disease, and we lost his income. SS is a joke.

Nobody anticipates becoming disabled and losing 2/3rds of their income, but this is our reality. We can't afford the copays for his PT, speech therapy, and other medical bills. Parkinson's is a horrible disease! He falls all the time, and we are in the ER constantly. He currently has a fractured pelvis and water on the knee from falls.

We had to move away from our home on Long Island because one income isn't enough to survive there. We have a 23-year-old on the autistic spectrum who also has bipolar disease. They are also dependent on my solo income.

Our sweet ginger boy, Mitzvah has a tumor on his rear toe. The biopsy showed that it's not cancerous, and X-rays show that it's not attached to the bone. The vet wants $2K to remove it, and whatever follow-up costs will be. It is growing at a very rapid rate and he is uncomfortable. Our credit cards are maxed out on vet bills from our other cats, including a feral who had an internal uterine abscess that burst. She made it. We literally have $8K of vet debt. The food, litter, and flea treatment are not cheap either.

We need help for this sweet baby. If you can help in any way, it would be appreciated. Please donate and share. We have an Amazon wishlist if you prefer to help with an in-kind donation, link below: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3BDNOMVKIC0V?ref_=wl_share
