Simi was hit brutally by a car. The driver didnโt even stop to check what they had done. This poor cat has been fighting for his life ever since. He is still in critical condition and currently hospitalized.
Simiโs body is full of infections. He had a feeding tube placed, but it had to be removed due to complications. He is eating on his own now, but not well, because he is in a lot of pain. His entire jaw and mouth are broken.
He had a CT scan yesterday, and another feeding tube was placed. We hope this one will work better.
The scan showed many fractures in his skull. His jaw is completely fractured. He will need:
โข An external fixator to stabilize his jaw,
โข Braces inside his mouth to help him bite again,
โข Surgery to fix the damage in his TMJ (temporomandibular joint), which is the joint that lets the jaw move to open and close the mouth.
The impact also caused Simi to go blind. One eye popped out and will need to be removed. The other eye might still be savedโweโre not sure yet.
Thereโs blood inside his ears, and we donโt know if he has lost his hearing. The surgeon will confirm this soon.
Simi has a very long and painful road to recovery, and we are doing everything we can. But we cannot do this without your help.
Please, if you can help us with any amount, it would mean the world. Simi is still fighting. Letโs fight with him.
Today, we are asking for your love and support for Simi.
Please help.
