<\/a><\/p>\n UPDATE:<\/strong> The reconstructive surgery was successful as of 5:45pm October 17th. He will be ready to come home tomorrow, October 19th. Thank you, again, for all your support.<\/em><\/p>\n Yesterday, October 16th, I arrived home from work at 8:30pm and one of my cats was not to be found. After around ten minutes of searching, I found Maimonides (my cat) curled up in my bed under the sheets (very unusual behavior). As soon as he climbed\/fell out of the bed and onto the floor, I knew something was wrong. He sat there, looked at me, and let out two loud howls. He then tried to take a few steps and collapsed on the floor.<\/p>\n <\/a>My girlfriend and I immediately located an emergency vet clinic and called a taxi. After a\u00a0thorough\u00a0checkup and numerous X-rays later, it seems as if Maimonides had somehow shattered the femur in his back left leg. The X-rays showed the bone broken into three or four pieces. The only option for recovery was surgery.<\/p>\n Maimonides is currently at the vet and is scheduled for surgery this afternoon. The doctor is extremely capable,\u00a0albeit\u00a0very expensive. The total bill is going to be between $4,000 – $4500<\/em>.<\/p>\n In order for Maimonides to be admitted to the hospital, I had to pay the low estimate, $4,000, last night. I was able to borrow this money from my girlfriend for the time being, but I need to pay this money back as soon as possible.<\/p>\n <\/a>I am not going to ask for donations for nothing, but I am going to offer an extremely discounted rate for web work in order to raise funds to pay for Maimonides’ surgery. If you’ve ever wanted a website, blog, homepage, or landing page built, now is the time to get one.<\/p>\n For a $150 donation I will build you a website<\/strong>. This is what you will get:<\/p>\n\n
