Hi everyone. I've taken in a cat named Bruce that was dumped at our local park who needs specialized ear surgery to treat his inflammatory aural polyps. As you can imagine it isn't cheap. I've created a traditional GoFundMe Campaign as well as a Facebook Raffle to help raise funds to cover his medical expenses. I hope you all will check them out, give if you can, and share with your friends and family. We are so close to our goal, we just need some more support. Cats like Bruce start off not having anyone so we have to be their someones to get them feeling well

Also does anyone have any experience with polyps in cats or TECA surgery? This is a new one for me but I've been told they are common especially in the throat which can restrict breathing

I love the raffle idea! I can't help right now but am willing to share on FB. Also, have you posted on the "We Are All Cat Lovers Friend" page? Sending prayers and vibes that Bruce gets his TECA :vibes::vibes::vibes:

Thank you, please share away :blush:
Some local people as well as rescues have had lots of success holding raffles for the animals in their care so I thought I'd give it a whirl. I feel bad asking for money. With the raffle donors get the chance to win something cool in return for their generosity.
