“Toes” Cat Needs Heart Surgery
The cat has less than three months to live without surgery, doctors say.
Story by John Brown
NEW YORK – Five -year-old “Toes”, a black male cat, was found in the woods by the manager of Park Towers Co-Op, Spring Valley, NY about three weeks ago.
He’s a very friendly and social cat. Somebody had probably just abandoned him.
A trip to the veterinarian revealed he has a hole in his heart and a right side heart failure.
We already spend $ 2135.00 for medical tests.
Doctors say the surgery will cost about $4,000.
So now, our Friends, are putting out a bucket to collect donations from the community.
“Toes” needs the surgery within about a month.
To drop off a donation, visit All Creatures Great & Small Animal Hospital 481 Route 306 Monsey, NY (845) 354-6602 , Spring Valley Animal Hospital 151 Route 59, Airmont, NY (845) 356-8616 or Cat Care Clinic of the Nyack 127 S Broadway, Nyack, NY (845) 353-6369

You can send a Check or Money Order to “Toes” c/o Rockland Animal Rescue P.O Box 438 Nyack, NY 10960

Why doesn’t the dr. do the surgery for free? What kind of people are they?
Very sad….a Multi-million dollar business….not a single one of them even offered a discount or a little break…and they are building a new hospital or adding an extension… almost worst then a human health care
did Toes survive?
Just came across this on Petfinder.
Thank you!
I was too busy to update the blog.
Toes still Ok. We never did the surgery, because 1. was no money 2. I think he’s too week for the surgery.
I find a very good HOLISTIC MEDICATION company in Australia. I’m using they HOLISTIC stuff and for a hole FULL YEAR Toes was very good. (We only visit the hospital every 4-5weeks for fluid removal)
But nothing goes on forever. Since January we need to go to the hospital every week again. I just start to give him Dandelion -for fluid removal and Next week we will visit a Holistic practitioner.
(In the last year I cut his regular medication for a half -Lasix, Plavix,Viagra- because I dont think to much medication good for Toes kidney and liver.
So we will see whats going on…..
