Oftentimes individuals are reluctant to give to people directly....so you may want to set something up with your vet and have the funds sent to the vet office.

That's FANTASTIC INFORMATION!!!

I had NO idea!!!

Thank you soooooooo much I'll certainly try that. So great of you.

I hope you've not had to endure anything along these lines thus making you an expert on this subject.

ALL THE BEST WISHES TO YOU!!

You are very welcome....Best Friends actually compiled that list. I do hope you get help for your cat.

I wish you the best for your cat. But I wanted to say that many people don't feel comfortable making a donation direct to an owner - but might to a vet or clinic. we have had that before on this board. So please tell us if that is a possibility.

This is a fantastic group.
They are relatively new and were a life saver for my kitty MomCat Rose.
They do fund raising as well as special needs. My MomCat was a fundraiser cat and they raised all her funds for her surgery in 24 hours.
Please be sure and check them out.

Thoughts and prayers are with you.
He is a beautiful cat.
Bless you for helping him.
Also please be sure and check out IMOM
Another great place that I have gotten help from. They are all so sweet and caring. They helped me with my kitty Big Daddy when he was shot in the leg by some cruel and heartless person. He was able to get the surgery he needed so he could lead a normal life again. Big Daddy reminds me a lot of your kitty. He is a seal point Himalayn/Siamese mix.
I know both of these sites are listed above but since I have gotten help from them both I know first hand how great they are.
