Pika: 8-year-old Domestic Shorthair
Diagnosis: caudal & cranial ligament tear due to trauma
Procedure: limb amputation

Pika is an irresistibly sweet, loving, and cuddly girl who enjoys talking to people and getting into the festive spirit with her Christmas outfits! Found as a tiny kitten in a park, she grew into a beloved, heartwarming companion adored by all. After a terrifying attack by a predator, Pika miraculously survived, though her hind limb was severely injured and required an amputation to save her life. Burdened by debt and caregiving duties, her military owner was unable to manage the cost of the essential surgery. Fortunately, FACE came to the rescue, and Pika is purring again.
