I have 8 fur babies and want all animals to enjoy life as mine do. If I can have a small part in easing their pain and helping them find their "fur-ever" home, then I will do so.

Argyle was found when he dragged himself onto a kind person’s porch asking for help. He was taken to a stray hold where he sat for 72 hours. It was thought he was a rear-paralyzed cat and likely incontinent and he was facing euthanasia.

However, we soon found out this was not the case. Argyle was likely struck by a car. He was clearly once a pet, but was not neutered and was struggling to survive outdoors.

Sadly this is the fate of many cats, discarded when they are no longer kittens, or lost outdoors once they reach sexual maturity. After confirming that he had a fractured pelvis, he had a consult at UW Veterinary Care with an orthopedic specialist.

During this appointment it was found that he also had a traumatic diaphragmatic hernia, which is basically a tear in the muscle of his diaphragm allowing his organs to shift position. His vet team felt he was a solid candidate for surgery. Last week they hospitalized him to prepare for surgery.

Argyle received a life-saving surgery to repair the hole in his diaphragm and to move his organs back into proper position. He is recovering from this first surgery and doing well!

Once he recover more fully, he will receive an orthopedic surgery to fix his femoral head fracture and pin the pelvic fracture on the opposing side in order to give back function to both rear legs. He is currently able to walk, but not normally. This series of surgeries will give him the best chance at a normal life.

Argyle is a happy and precious cat who wants to live!

His initial vet team felt euthanasia was a consideration for financial reasons, but not for quality of life purposes - he can recover with medical intervention and that is where we're able to step in and make sure he gets the care he needs and deserves. You make this possible.

Argyle is on excellent pain medications and clearly appreciative to be loved and fed. Anyone who works with us knows that we love to help the hard cases and we couldn't do it without you. Thank you for helping us give him the best chance at life!
