Oliver surgery costs



On Tuesday afternoon my cat, Oliver, was found seriously injured outside my door. We don't know the exact cause of the injury ,he suffered two fractures to his lower jaw, and soft tissue to damage to his lower trachea.

Oliver had to undergo reconstructive surgery to his lower jaw, which resulted in him having to get his mouth wired shut for up to five weeks. He had one tube installed under his neck to drain the fluid that built up from the soft tissue damage. Additionally, he had to have a feeding tube inserted into his neck and will have to eat, drink, and take all his medication through that tube until he is capable of using his mouth. He is currently recovering but it is going to be a very long road before he is back to normal.

Oliver has always been more than a pet to us, he is family, and there was no question in our minds that we had to save him. However, this hard decision came with a large financial burden. Due to all the reconstructive surgery and hospital stay we have incurred a $5,200 vet bill. Paying for all of his medical care is going to be a struggle for myself and my partner.  

I am asking for donations from friends, family or anyone who would like to contribute to our hardship. I would not normally ask for this kind of help but this has put a huge strain on our household, any donation big or small would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much for taking the time to read our story.
