Please help Harley get ear surgery
Donation protected
This is Harley and we are trying to raise funds for skin cancer treatment and ear surgery.
As you can see, the tips of his ears are being destroyed by skin cancers, and we've been told he will need surgery to remove the affected parts. Apparently it's a fairly common procedure for cats with skin cancer to have part or all of their ears removed and they can function quite fine without them.
Early last year our other cat, Kitty, was diagnosed with stomach cancer. She needed surgery but sadly, she died shortly after. The vet bill we received was just over $1000 and paying it has had a terrible effect on our finances - ever since then we have been really struggling.
Now Harley needs treatment and it's impossible for us to afford it. We've looked into all options in our area but virtually no help is available bar surrendering him to a shelter and/or possibly having him euthanized. The last thing we want is to lose a cherished family member because we can't afford the vet bills. Harley is an old cat, but he's not elderly - he has plenty of life and energy left and we can't imagine having to deal with another tragedy so soon. Especially when it can be fixed.
All we can really think to do is ask for help and hope the kindness of strangers might get us through. Any donation will help, no matter the size.
We'll be happy to keep everyone updated as Harley receives treatment so that you can see how he's going.
Thank you so much.
