Luna was found on the shoulder of Highway 9 last Tuesday morning. A driver stopped, wrapped her in a hoodie, and drove her straight to our clinic. She couldn't move her back legs, but she was purring. She's still purring.
The X-rays confirmed a spinal fracture consistent with a car strike. Our lead veterinarian consulted with the neurology team at the university hospital, and the consensus is clear: with surgery in the next 10 days, Luna has a strong chance of walking again. Without it, she doesn't.
The estimate is $6,800 all-in: $4,200 for the surgery itself, $1,400 for the two-week inpatient recovery, and $1,200 for the follow-up imaging and physical therapy that gives her the best shot at a full recovery.
Whiskers Rescue is a small operation. We don't have $6,800 sitting in a fund. What we have is a community that has never once let a Luna slip through the cracks — and we're betting on you again.
Even $10 gets us there. Please share this with anyone who loves a cat.
