Medical Emergency Fund for Simon

Even with the heavy blurring, it’s clear to see that this cat endured unimaginable pain. With his front leg encased in a wet, dirty cast, Simon snuck into his kind rescuer’s crawl space, looking for refuge.

His rescuer snapped into action, they gently captured him and rushed him to safety. One sniff of the air around this poor cat and you knew something was very wrong. His medical team carefully unwrapped the cast—what lay beneath was horrific. There was an exposed bone and rotting flesh. Simon was immediately started on pain relief, fluids, and antibiotics to fight the deep infection, but there was only one option to truly relieve him of his suffering: an emergency amputation to remove the critically injured leg. In addition to surgery, Simon has had bloodwork done to monitor his fragile body after such trauma. 

Understandably, Simon is still wary of people, but there is a spark of hope that we see glimmer in his eyes. This boy LOVES food! He’ll happily chomp down every bite. The magic power of tasty treatos are helping staff to slowly earn his trust. They are even able to sneak his medicine into his food, and he’ll happily eat it right off a spoon. Simon still needs ongoing pain management, medications, and careful monitoring as he adapts to life on three legs.
