Help Save Noma

On Friday, my daughter Danielle’s sweet 9 month-old kitten, Noma, severely broke her right, front leg after jumping into the engine bay of a running car and getting caught in the serpentine belt. They didn’t know she had been injured until she came out of hiding Sunday night. They rushed her into the first vet who would do X-rays Monday 2/24. (Swipe pics above for X-ray.) Given the severity of the humeral fracture, the vet recommended amputation. After spending 2.5 hours calling every vet within 200 miles, they were able to find one who will perform the surgery on Wednesday 2/26. They have applied for many emergency veterinary care grants, but since it has been many days since Noma’s injury, they can’t wait on grant approval before getting her into surgery. Noma is most definitely a mama’s girl. Luna, their 6 year-old dog, is her best friend. Noma follows my 4 year-old grandson, Alex, everywhere he goes. She comes running when they pull in the driveway and is all too eager to help with daily tasks while perched on Danielle’s shoulder. They call her their little parrot. Funds have been the only thing getting in the way of her care, as this is a very unexpected expense. All prayers and/or donations are SO greatly appreciated! We can’t wait to see her get back to her spunky, happy, healthy self. She is such a sweet kitten with a long life ahead of her. Thank you for your support!

Day 3 PostOp Update

March 1st, 2025

Hi all! Noma is doing wonderfully! She, Austin, Alex and I are all SO immensely grateful for your help in getting her the medical attention she needed. She doesn’t love the cone.. immediately scooped water into it and looked at me like I had poisoned her lol. We turned it around so she can’t get to her shoulder, but her face is free. Now she looks like our little superhero! Her incision looks amazing and is healing very nicely! No escape attempts from her little healing space yet, which surprised us all! She will continue pain meds for two weeks and get her sutures out on the 12th. The vet is allowing us until then to pay the final bill. Normally they don’t discharge until payment is complete, but when I told them about this amazing campaign, they were gracious enough to allow us a grace period. Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts for helping us save Nomie! -Danielle, Austin and Alex

Noma is on her way home! She’s a little medicated, has a new hairstyle, and does not like wearing a cone, but she’s doing well! Now onto recovery so she can continue being a happy, perky kitten. She’ll have lots of love and care at home with Austin, Danielle, and Alex. Thank you so much for your support!!❤️🐾

Surgery complete!

February 26th, 2025

Noma is out of surgery and doing well! They removed her front right leg at the shoulder. She’s in recovery now and already trying to hobble around. The doctor expects healing to go well. She’ll be monitored overnight and given IV fluids, and Danielle will bring her home in the morning. :)
Surgery day!

February 26th, 2025

Thank you for your support! Danielle and Noma were up before the sun for the 2 hour drive to the vet for surgery this morning. Noma does not love the carrier but is doing well all things considered. She is on pain meds which helps. She was loving some snuggles in the waiting room and didn’t want to let go of Danielle’s arm.Their doctor has been just incredible. She took time to explain why this was the best option and what was going to happen. The reason they are able to keep the cost below $1500 is that both the vet and the anesthesiologist are donating their time and Noma’s overnight stay. Such a kind blessing! She’s in surgery now, and we’ll update when we know more. :)
