The vet advised for surgery to (temporarilly) fuse the bones in his paw (pancarpal arthrodesis) to help him be able to regain function. He will be put on cage rest after the surgery have have physical therapy. They asked for upfront payment for the materials that will be fitted to the paw and for the surgeon who will be coming from outside. Now I'm trying to raise the money. Otherwise, the surgery will be postponed.. This is the second treatment fee.

When I saw that he couldn't step on his paw, I immediately took him to the clinic. He has been taken in and been examined. We initially suspected a fracture, but the Xrays showed no fracture. The vet diagnosed radial paralysis (nerve damage in the "forearm") and believes that his paw was crushed/ stuck, resulting in the nerve damage with loss of function.

I immediately took him to the clinic. X-rays were taken, no fractures appeared, but there seems to be nerve damage (radial paralysis) that resulted in loss of function. Treatment has started.

The way his paw is at the moment, he is unable to live on the street.

My name is Birben. I live in Ankara and have been trying to rescue and treat stray cats since 2014. Except for Oreo and Macaron, all my cats at home are spayed or neutered. I also try to treat and spay or neuter stray cats as much as I can. I feed cats in three different locations in my neighborhood. There are a total of 20-25 cats. I've tried to find homes for the healthy ones, but it's very difficult, or perhaps due to the situation in Türkiye, I don't give them away unless I'm completely sure. Many people in my neighborhood either inform me or leave sick or healthy cats in my garden. Therefore, including the stray cats and the care at home, we consume an average of 78 kg of cat food and 30 cans of cat litter per month. And I owe a total of 9000 euros to two veterinary clinics. The hardest part is the accumulated debt I can't pay and the fact that I can't reduce the amount of food I consume daily (2 kg) because I haven't been able to find homes for them. These two things are interconnected. Because my veterinary debt is so high, it's very difficult to cover the food costs. Because so much food and litter is consumed, I can only afford to pay very little to the clinic. I'm only trying to get support through Instagram, but I'm not getting as much support as before.
