Help us Save Magic!
Updated: 4 days ago
EVENING UPDATE 5/26/23 on Magic from Kathy:
He made it!!!!!! I just spoke to the surgeon. Magic did incredibly well and is up and awake! He has a plate in one hip and screws in the other. Within the next few days he should be up on on his paws!!!! The sad news is having now seen the actual bones, the vet said he has dragged himself around like this for over week. He has been suffering that long on the street. I am so thankful Alicia found him and had one of our 50 Feral Fix vouchers! Magic should be picked up tomorrow from the vet. He will spend one month in a cage and then go back to the vet for x-rays to confirm that the hardware is all holding. After that we will get further instruction.
He will need a home when this is all over . Thank you to everyone who has donated. We will be billed tomorrow and we are a LONG way off from covering the surgery. Please keep sharing. Magic is one expensive bionic kitty now and we can not cover this bill with out you.

Poor Magic was hit by a car and left to suffer--he needs our help with some major veterinary attention!
Read his story below--thanks to one of our Feral Fixers, he is getting emergency care and pain relief, but we really need your help!
Magic's trapper is a fantastic woman who is taking on a huge cat problem in her neighborhood. Her neighbors allowed her to trap in their yard, where she spotted this poor cat standing very unnaturally and clearly in pain. She followed him and he could barely carry himself to the trap, but she got him and rushed to PFA with our voucher the next morning.
While we were able to pay for the x-rays below, painkillers, and his neuter at PFA, he needs major surgery at an orthopedic surgeon which we managed to arrange in under 24 hours. Kathy has not slept in 24 hours and has been in constant contact (AMEX card in hand) with the emergency vet and orthopedic surgeon.
We have received an estimate of $12,000 for plates, screws, and another 4 weeks of recovery followed by more imaging. On top of that, look who is NOT feral!
The requests for vouchers have not stopped coming in and we must continue to fund those for our friends in need of some fixin' financial aid--but we also could not leave this cat to suffer or without care for any amount of time, as he is not paralyzed and can feel the pain of a major fracture in his hip.
