Hello everyone- I volunteer with a nonprofit cat rescue Stray Cat Relief Fund, based in the Philadelphia area. We help a lot of sick and injured strays.

I was notified of a very injured and emaciated cat laying in the street. Someone swooped in and picked him up and we offered to help with his medical.

Thomas has a broken jaw from a traumatic injury and has been hospitalized in University of Penn since 3/20/21. He’s already had one jaw surgery but he wasn’t doing well during the surgery so they had to hurry and splint it not completing what they set out to do.

Thomas has had a rocky recovery but HE’S SUCH A FIGHTER AND STRONG BOY! He’s fought so hard and has gotten so much better and stronger. He needs another surgery this week to finish the repair since the bone separated. His bill so far is around $19,000 and with the surgery will be around $30,000 😞.

The sadder part is that this sweet little boy was an abandoned pet from the local city shelter and is microchipped with no response from his former owners.

I’m wondering if you kind souls would help us raise more money for him. We are a 501c3 nonprofit so your donations are tax deductible and safe.

His whole story is on the Facebook link and he has a huge following on their with dedicated fans and supporters. Please donate and share for him if you can. We have a Facebook Fundraiser and a Giving Grid (I just started the giving grid) for him along with our Venmo and PayPal. The links are below and I thank you very much 🧡.

Thomas is exactly the type of cat I'd adopt. I'll share his story wherever I can.
