Campaign Story
Smokey's beginning
I rescued Smokey's mom from the streets when she was pregnant with him. She gave birth to 6 beautiful kittens. Smokey was one of the kittens his mother rejected. She would take him out of the box and leave him in random places around my home. I ended up bottle feeding Smokey with replacement milk until he was big enough to eat hard food. I was up with him every two hours (including night) feeding and making him use the bathroom to make sure he stayed alive.
Smokey's present
Smokey is the only one with health issues. I have noticed recently that his ability to use his hind legs is becoming more and more limited. Instead of running and jumping with his brothers and sisters, he hobbles around in hopes of not falling over. I have decided to keep Smokey as my pet. He requires a lot of attention and medical care. I have to pick him up and put him in the litter box when he needs to use it as he can't jump or climb well.
Smokey's future
If I can't raise enough money to help cover his medical costs, I fear that he may lose all ability to use his hind legs. I will love him and keep him either way, but I would like to know that I have tried everything I could to allow him to keep his mobility. On behalf of Smokey, I am asking you to please help us raise the $200.00 so he can have a chance at a normal life. He really is a sweet boy that deserves the use of his back legs!
Over funding
If Smokey's fund is raised over the asking amount, I will donate the rest to the ASPCA in hopes that it will help other animals find safe, loving homes.
Rewards
I will write out a thank you card with Smokey's personal signature and mail it to you!
Thank you card with Smokey's personal signature and an online video of a mobile Smokey!

No Improvement
Update posted by smokeysfund at 11:55 pmI thought last night might have been a fluke, but he is continuing to have seizures. He starts to drool horribly, shake uncontrollably, and urinates on himself with every seizure while crying like he is in pain. He had a total of 7 so far today. His back legs have. . . . .
PLEASE HELP!!
Update posted by smokeysfund at 01:26 amSmokey just finished having two seizures within 10 minutes. My little guy really REALLY needs help. I don't have the funds to do anything. Again, I can't stress enough, if the rewards aren't enough, I will work with you in any way possible to give you what you want. I. . . . .
Thank you
Update posted by smokeysfund at 10:12 pmI would just like to thank everyone who has visited our cause and have shared on facebook and twitter. It's very much appreciated that you care enough to try and help.
Not looking good
Update posted by smokeysfund at 05:03 pmToday Smokey was denied for three grants due to their lack of funding. There are so many organizations that have emailed me with apologies because they just don't have the funding. We have literally tried everything. This is our last option. I have maxed out credit cards, asked to borrow. . . . .
