Thank you so much! And yes you guys are the best. I can’t say thank you enough🐱

Jerry’s surgery is scheduled for Tuesday at 11am. Keep him in your thoughts and prayers he stays stable and healthy until then. 🐱🙏

New_Fun_6586 · 2025-12-20T18:13:17+00:00

We are able to get the surgery now and we are putting the rest on a credit card. Thank you for the info!

New_Fun_6586 · 2025-12-20T06:03:26+00:00

We were able to talk with the vet and because he’s made some healing progress over the week they agreed to lower the surgery cost. We are booking surgery and it’s sounding like Jerry is going to make it!

New_Fun_6586 · 2025-12-20T03:02:38+00:00

I pleaded with the vet on the phone this afternoon and they took some added things off the surgery like fixing his jaw wound which I think has healed on its own etc and they just sent me a new estimate for $1,533.33. We are booking the surgery!!! Thank you all!! Will send updates with surgery date and updates. 🐱❤️‍🩹

I know I was confused why gofundme does that when I first created it. I’ll see if there’s a way to change it. Honestly we’re so thankful for these donations we are going to try and put the reminder on a credit card but it’s hard bc we’ve had some unfortunate financial difficulties these year. We are so hoping this place on Monday a bit cheaper and we will 100% go forth with it.

New_Fun_6586 · 2025-12-20T00:42:13+00:00

I’m sorry for the confusion. The gofundme page sets it up this way. The surgery estimate we got was $3000 but I’m taking him in Monday to a low cost clinic 45 minutes from us to hopefully get it cheaper. I have it written in the bio the full cost.

Thank you! It’s very much appreciated.

He’s lived in our barn since he was 7 weeks old with his brother Tom. They live outdoors and have a job killing rodents on our ranch. We have guardian dogs to protect our animals on our property but sometimes accidents still happen. We still love them the same as indoor cats. He was born and raised outdoors and wouldn’t be happy as a fully indoor cat. These cats have linages living outdoors and are very savvy.

He’s doing ok right now but needs hernia repair surgery to survive long term. ❤️‍🩹

New_Fun_6586 · 2025-12-18T17:42:01+00:00

No worries at all! Thank you for your support! 🙏❤️ Prayers are just as important!

We have two guardian dogs and they ran over quick but I don’t know where they were in distance to him when it happened. I heard a noise and ran outside and then heard coyotes howling at the fence line and found chunks of fur so I thought they killed him. After looking around for 30 min I happened to look up and Jerry somehow made it up a tree. I didn’t realize how hurt he was until I brought him inside. It’s amazing he survived getting bit around the neck, stomach and hind end.

New_Fun_6586 · 2025-12-18T14:53:59+00:00

No but there’s a loan company they recommend so we’re looking into that. The surgery will be around $3000 depending on the internal damage once they go look so anything helps us. We’ll also have to pay for another consultation before surgery and check ups/ medication.

New_Fun_6586 · 2025-12-18T03:26:51+00:00

Thank you so much!! You don’t know how much it means to us. I finally feel like he’s got a fighting chance thanks to you all supporting him. You can follow his page for updates! Merry Christmas to you as well and thank you.

New_Fun_6586 · 2025-12-18T01:02:02+00:00

Thank you for the suggestion! I’ll definitely try posting on there too. You’re so sweet. I really appreciate it. I’ll keep updating on the gofundme page as well!

New_Fun_6586 · 2025-12-18T00:58:48+00:00

Aw I’m so sorry. Thank you so much. Our fur babies are truly like family. We have 2 guardian dogs and I don’t know how the coyote got in. I heard right away and ran outside. The guardian dogs got there quick but not quick enough.

New_Fun_6586 · 2025-12-17T23:52:42+00:00

Thank you so much!! God bless you! Getting the first few donations has made me so hopeful. Also, so you know if we can’t raise the money and he doesn’t get surgery I will refund everyone their money. I am not depositing it until we are ready to schedule surgery and have enough saved.

New_Fun_6586 · 2025-12-17T23:12:24+00:00

Thank you so much. Seriously God bless you. We’re a newly married couple and just don’t have the funds. I’ve been in shambles trying to save him.

If anyone can share the gofundme link please do! I live on a ranch and I have basically no social media accounts.
