Help Taj receive emergency hip surgery

Taj is an extremely endangered species called a Clouded Leopard who lives at Panther Ridge Conservation Center in Loxahatchee Groves, FL. At about 4 months old, Taj fractured his rear R femoral head while bouncing around rough housing with his companions. Our vet was optimistic the growth plates would form a bridge and he would heal in due time with some cage rest.

At a year old now, Taj is now displaying noticeable signs of pain- limping around his habitat. Concerned, we took him to the vet for a follow up Xray and they concluded that Taj would need a FHO (femoral head ostectomy) the beginning of May. His hip didn't heal the way it should have and is causing him tremendous amounts of pain. 

Taj lives with his two companions, Lura and Malee, both unrelated females who he loves to play with. Please help us in raising funds so Taj can receive his hip surgery and live a carefree, painless life with his mates. Any amount of donation is greatly appreciated and we are grateful for all of the support.
