KITTY!
Jack the one eyed kitten. Shoulder kitty... My own little mad eye moody!
Jack is a 4 week old kitten that was born on my father's farm. His eye went from bad to worse to unsaveable in just a few short days. A short trip to the vet and now I'm facing an extremely expensive surgery to remove his eye when he gets a little older. His eye is completely ruptured except the globe is still intact, but everything on the inside of it is basically mush. He's a hell of a trooper, though, and with antibiotics and eye drops we've managed to get some of the swelling down and he's getting more active.
I'm still a broke college student and I'm still moving into my own place in 4 days, so, trying to cover this surgery out of pocket is going to be a really big struggle. I hate asking for money, most of you know me and know that I like to be able to take care of myself and not have to rely on anyone for help... But I need help with this. So far I've got $40 in donations from friends and that is only a small percentage of the cost of the surgery (which is likely going to be anywhere between $600 and $800). I have to come up with the money before they can do the surgery, but, he's too young at this point anyway to do anything but wait until he's older. They want him to gain weight and be at least 8 weeks old.
If you can spare even a dollar, it will help tremendously.
