Abandoned cat hit by car and has broken leg. Need advice.
Hi everyone. I witnessed a cat that was hit by a car and left for dead. I managed to save him in the middle of the busy road but he is severely injured. I took him to the vet this morning and was informed that his leg is broken. It is a complex break and will require surgery to put a pin in the leg. I was quoted $1700. I work in the service industry (fast food) and barely make minimum wage but I refuse to turn away any animal in need. I don’t have the funds to cover this and I’m at a loss as to what to do. I live in a rural area where there are no emergency vets or charities to help. I have applied for CareCredit but was denied. If anyone has any suggestions as to charities I can contact that would assist me with this, I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you 🙏🏻

Oh bless you wonderful human! Is there a humane society nearby you could contact for assistance? I know sometimes they will help. Even if not right near you, reach out to different places. Could you call other vets in the area as well and explain the situation? Maybe one will have mercy? I hope someone here can offer something more. This is quite a predicament to be in ❤️
Thank you so much for your suggestions!
I have reached out to all four vets in my area, as well as the one I saw this morning. Unfortunately I was only advised to apply for CareCredit. I haven’t thought about contacting the humane societies though. I will absolutely do that. And I haven’t considered attempting to contact vets that are outside of my area. Maybe more skilled vets in larger areas will have better resources? Anything is worth a shot! Thank you again! ❤️
I’m so praying human goodness will help this situation. We can do great things together.
Yes we can! Thank you!
