This morning, my senior kitty Zoe somehow managed to break one of her front legs. She’s incredibly spry for her 17 years of age, and still jumps up and down from the bed and couch all the time, and presumably she landed wrong this time — I didn’t witness her injure herself, and we only found her holding up her front paw and opted to rush her to the emergency vet.

She’s staying the weekend there and will have surgery on Monday or Tuesday, and the surgery is estimated to be about $5000 due to the nature of the break. I have savings that I’ve set aside specifically for this sort of situation, but it is a big chunk of those savings, so I put together a GoFundMe to try to ameliorate the cost.

Zoe has brought me a lot of joy as a companion the past seventeen years, and if I’ve managed to bring any joy to any readers out there, I hope you’ll consider donating. I’m not ready to let Zoe go quite yet, if I can prevent it. She it a loving and lively kitty.

Here’s the GoFundMe link again. All these photos are from the last few weeks.
