Tommy's Bilateral Hip Surgery

Donation protected
To anyone who may come across this,

I am creating this GoFundMe on behalf of my roommate, James. His 1-year-old cat, Tommy (short for Thomas O'Malley), has been struggling to jump, run, and play recently; a few nights ago around 3am, he was crying out in pain, when James took him to the emergency vet. There he was diagnosed with a congenital hip abnormality leaving him with multiple small stress fractures in both hips. He'll need double hip surgery in order to live out the rest of his life pain-free. Unfortunately, this will be a very expensive surgery and is a difficult amount to come up with for a recent college graduate who is also starting grad school this Summer.
I grew up with dogs and didn't really understand how anyone could be a "cat person" until I met Tommy. He is a lover, always seeking a human to cuddle, a quirky goofball (he likes the swat at the faucet when we wash dishes), and he has the loudest purr I've ever heard. James has worked very hard to put himself through school with scholarships, ROTC, and jobs in the restaurant industry. He has quickly become one of my closest friends, and I absolutely love seeing how much he adores his cat and how much Tommy loves him. Therefore, every cent raised through this GoFundMe will go towards Tommy's health expenses ($3500 surgery and $500 emergency vet bill). Everything helps, even $0.50 or a share of this link.

With love,
Olivia
