Summer’s story began in the unlikeliest of places—a public bathroom, alone and abandoned. Thankfully, a compassionate foster found her and brought her home, reaching out to us for help. We covered her initial vet visit and supplies, but it quickly became clear that Summer’s injuries were far more serious than expected.

This tiny, sweet kitten had a fractured jaw and a torn bottom lip—painful injuries that required specialized surgery to heal properly. A dental specialist quoted us between $6,000–$8,000 for the procedure—an amount far beyond what we could manage.

That’s when Dr. Laura, the incredible veterinarian who first examined Summer, stepped up. Moved by Summer’s gentle spirit and resilience, she offered to take full responsibility for her care and even pay for the surgery out of her own pocket. The specialist has since agreed to perform the procedure for $5,000, but even with the discount, that’s a heavy burden for one person to carry—especially for a cat who isn’t even her own.

Now we’re asking for your help.

Summer has shown nothing but love and gratitude despite everything she’s been through. She purrs constantly, plays with joy, and seems so thankful just to be safe and loved. She’s come so far already—this surgery is the final step to ensure she lives a full, pain-free life.

Please consider donating to help cover Summer’s surgery and give her the chance she deserves. Every dollar makes a difference and will go directly to Dr. Laura. Thank you for supporting this little fighter and the people who refused to give up on her. ❤️
