Help Save This Cat

A plea from my wife:

On my way in to campus on Tuesday morning, October 18, I found
this sweet kitty on the road I live on in Columbia after she had been hit
by a car. I have taken her to a veterinary hospital in Laurel where I
am told she will require major reconstructive surgery (i.e. expensive) to repair her jaw which has been fractured in three places. She is a very sweet cat, who still tries to purr and knead her blankets when you pet her even though she must be in incredible pain. I am willing to take her in as a part of my family (although my 8 birds, or the Fogg Flock as I call them, may have strong objections!) but I cannot afford the expense of the surgery she requires and I hate to have her put down if she is able to be saved. The in-house veterinarian, Dr. Bob, is not able to perform the complicated surgery required and is waiting to hear back from a specialist who can. Dr. Bob estimates that her surgery alone could cost $1500 or more.

The veterinarian is doing all that he can free of charge in order to help save her and has started a donation jar in his clinic to help see to her further expenses. So, now I am doing the same by placing a donation box at the CCJS front desk in an effort to help save this sweet kitty. Anything you are able to contribute is very gratefully received. Even if it's the change we keep handy for the vending machine, any amount would greatly help. Attached are photos of Savannah (as I have dubbed her) before the doctor taped her head and jaw together. And, just in case she finds herself unable to resist my birds, if you know of anyone who would like the company of a sweet, sweet cat, please let me know!

For those who have asked, to send a check for Savannah, please make it out to: North Laurel Animal Hospital and indicate on the memo line "Savannah Fogg".
Donations may be sent to:
North Laurel Animal Hospital

Anything you can do would be greatly appreciated.
