Save Spiffy: Urgent Surgery Needed

URGENT FUNDS NEEDED TO HELP SPIFFY BREATHE!!! Friends, we are desperate for your help. Spiffy needs emergency throat surgery, without which he will die.

Spiffy came to our shelter barely clinging to life. We weren’t sure he’d survive. He was incredibly sickly and emaciated. His low body temperature wouldn’t even regsiter on a thermometer. Spiffy was moments from death yet with supportive care and medication, Spiffy found the will to push through.

While Spiffy miraculously recovered we noticed audible breathing that our vets suspected was an issue with Spiffy's Larnyx. What would normally open and close as you breathe, Spiffy’s larynx was nearly sealed shut. This was making it incredibly difficult for Spiffy to breathe similar to breathing through a cocktail straw.

But Spiffy CAN breathe comfortably with an incredibly expensive surgery. As you may know, the cost of veterinary care is astronomical but we are desperate to help this sweet kitty. He’s come SO far and he could have a bright future ahead. Surgeons at PennVet can “pin back” Spiffy’s larynx allowing oxygen to finally enter normally.

Without surgery, the quality of life for Spiffy is too poor that the specialists have recommended euthanasia. Please consider donating to save our guy. He’s too sweet and gentle to experience so much suffering. Thank you
