Hi everyone… my name is Lexus. 💕
I’m just a little kitten, and I had a really scary accident.
I was playing in my foster home’s bedroom, somewhere I’ve played lots of times before. I love climbing and exploring, and everyone thinks I may have slipped or fallen behind the headboard of the bed.
Nobody knows exactly what happened, but somehow my poor little tail got caught or bent, and it broke. 💔
My foster mama found me with my tail badly injured and hanging limp. It was so scary, and I didn’t understand why it wasn’t working anymore.
When the vet examined me, they discovered that my tail was broken about two-thirds of the way down. The damaged part can bend at a funny angle, and I can’t feel or move it anymore.
They say it can’t be fixed.
I need emergency surgery to have part of my tail amputated before the injury causes even more problems.
Right now, I’m staying in a cage at the sanctuary so I don’t accidentally hurt myself while I wait. But I’m a kitten! I want to run and jump and wrestle with my friends!
So instead, I spend my days calling out to the volunteers, asking them to come give me some love. And they do! I’m a very snuggly little girl, and those cuddles make everything a little less scary. 💕
My surgery is scheduled for Friday, and I urgently need your help!
I’m scared of having surgery, but everyone promises that once I’ve healed, I’ll still be able to do all the wonderful things kittens do.
I might have a shorter tail, but I’ll still be me!
Could you please help Pet Patrol pay for my surgery? Every donation or share brings me closer to feeling better.
I didn’t mean to hurt myself. I was just being a kitten. And all I want is the chance to be one again. 🥺💕
With tiny, hopeful purrs,
Lexus 🐾
