For over a week, sweet little Claire was sitting in a shelter with an open compound fracture. We can't imagine the pain she was in--her leg bone had been snapped, and it was exposed and healing incorrectly.

Friday morning, this 4 month old entered the care of Nashville Cat Rescue and was immediately seen by our vet, who determined the unhealthy leg was too far damaged and needed to be removed to prevent a lifetime of pain and potential infection. Given the severity of the case, we authorized the procedure without conducting a fundraiser first, hopeful that our generous supporters would see us through.

Claire's procedure went beautifully and she's now recovering in a foster home. She's eating and drinking well and using the litter box like a good little girl. If all continues to go well, her staples will come out on the 20th.

Your donation to Claire’s care will put her on the path to a happy life. Her pain will end, she'll recover from surgery in a happy, loving foster home, and we'll find her an amazing adopter. We rely on generosity of our supporters to fund these special cases. Please help us give little Claire the care she needs and show her she is loved!

Note: $1,500 is our estimate for the appointments, treatments, surgery, and medications required for Claire's care. Any money raised in excess of her needs will go toward helping other cats and kittens in Nashville Cat Rescue's care
