About two years ago, we met a special community cat named Neno, whose dedicated caretaker, Marlene, reached out for help. Neno was suffering from severe dental pain, and with your support, we were able to cover the cost of a full dental procedure to ease his discomfort and improve his quality of life.
Fast forward to just a few days ago—Marlene contacted us again, but this time with heartbreaking news. Neno had disappeared for a week and returned home with a severely injured leg, likely the result of being hit by a car.
Thanks to Marlene’s quick action, Neno was taken to Dutton Road Veterinary Clinic in Northeast Philly. The vet team determined that his femur was badly fractured, and the most humane path forward was amputation.
💔 It was a tough decision—but the right one.
💪 The surgery was successful, and Neno is now recovering comfortably at home with Marlene by his side.
With the help of Marlene’s friends and family, and a $400 donation from Philadoptables, the remaining balance on Neno’s medical bill is just $400. Every little bit helps—and we know how much this resilient boy means to his caretaker and the community.
🐱 How You Can Help Neno:
If you’re able to give $5, $50—or anything in between—it will make a direct impact on Neno’s recovery.
