My cat doesn't even look like a cat anymore. And I have barely any time to save her.

A stray dog destroyed Luna's face. The vet bill is £14,550, and I'm completely out of options.

I opened my back door at 11pm and Luna was just lying there on the patio. Not sleeping, not resting. Lying in a way that cats don't lie when everything is okay.

I took one step toward her and froze. Because I didn't recognise her.

I've had Luna for four years. She sleeps on my pillow every night. She's the first thing I see when I open my eyes. And I did not recognise her.

Her face was so swollen, so completely wrong, my brain couldn't process that it was her. Then she moved. This tiny exhausted little movement. She dragged her chin along the concrete trying to headbutt my hand.

That's when I fell apart.

Her right eye was bulging in a way that eyes are not supposed to bulge. Her left eye was matted shut with blood. Half her face felt soft under my hands, in places it should not be soft. And through all of it, she was still trying to comfort me.

A stray dog had gotten into the garden. The place she'd been safe every day for four years. I wrapped her in a blanket and drove to the emergency vet at midnight.

What Luna needs right now

  • Deep corneal scratch. Needs a specialist surgeon, or she loses her sight.
  • Torn ear and infected bite wounds requiring ICU monitoring.
  • On strong IV antibiotics. Buying time, not a fix.

She crawled to the back door so I would find her. She waited for me.

Where every donation goes

  • Surgery and ICU£8,310
  • Post-op care, X-rays and meds (12 wks)£2,844
  • Secondary infection and extended ICU£1,696
  • Emergency buffer£1,700
  • Total needed£14,550

Every receipt will be posted publicly. Funds go directly to the clinic.

I have nothing left

I emptied my savings that first night. I cancelled a trip I'd been saving for months. I've been living on pasta and toast. I called my mum. I'm completely at the wall.

I'm not a charity. No team, no sponsor. It's just me, a normal person with a normal job, asking you to help me save my cat.

Luna's eye gets worse every day we wait. We're not talking weeks. We're talking days.

Please don't scroll past this

It's 1am. I'm on the floor of my spare room. Luna is asleep next to me with her cone on. Still swollen, but she let me stroke her ear tonight for the first time since it happened.

If you can help at all, please click now. Not later. Right now, while you're still feeling this.

If money is tight, share this. Someone in your phone would donate if they saw Luna's face.

Don't let tonight be the last quiet night she ever has.

P.S. The vet just messaged. Luna's eye inflammation is spreading faster than expected. Every hour matters. Please don't wait until tomorrow.

    I remember Luna's accident. I've seen the aftermath pictures. He has been rocking with some good people for a minute now. He deserves this for sure
