Gidget is in severe pain - HELP!

[kuhio98]

Gidget is an adorable 6-month-old kitty whose adoptive Mom got her and Gidget's sister from a rescue. This baby is in a great deal of pain due to broken tibia and torn cruciate ligaments. The injuries happened when the applicant's son accidentally fell on poor Gidget.

The vet says that Gidget needs surgical repair to reattach cruciate ligaments and secure tibia to fibula within the next 4-5 days, or euthanasia is recommended due to the severe pain she is in.

IMOM is trying to raise $1400 ASAP to help this baby. Please help get the word out. Cross-post please! And, if you can afford to make a donation -- no matter how small -- please specify GF-Gidget Lockie on IMOM's donation form: http://www.imom.org/donation/ You can donate using PayPal or credit/debit card. You can also mail in a check.

Catty1 ~ Thank you. I've sent in my donation also.

I am really sorry to read about Gidget, and I feel so bad that I'm not able to help with money.

I so hope Gidget will get the donations needed for her operation. I am sending lots of positive thoughts that she gets better and will live a long happy life.

Hugs to you, who can help her.

There have been a few donations since the last fund update on March 4th - Gidget was not in that tally.

And some words from what Gidget's mom has posted:

I did not mention that we have already spent 1000.00 on my little one and from the emergency vet, they gave her pain medication, but it has run out.

While I sit here reading through some of the unfortunate animals who are in need of IMOM's help, Gidget is sticking her little paw under my bedroom door for me to pay her some attention and meowing at me.... she's sooo cute.

Gidget is 6 months old :-).

kuhio - any word on how much is raised so far for Gidget? I know Juli only updates every few days. Would she give you an update?

Thanks!

I don't have a lot, but I sent a donation. Poor little baby doesn't deserve to suffer.
