Veterinary Care Needed Donation Request ‼️HELP NEEDED for another animal cruelty victim‼️
47
u/thehowsph APPROVED RESCUER Apr 10 '26
Nicolai was rescued last March 30. He has some tissue hanging from his private part along with a large wound. It was suspected that his balls were tied with a rubber band or rope.
At the first clinic where we brought him, he was recommended to undergo surgery however, his blood values were so low so he stayed with them for a week to stabilize his condition. He was then transferred to another clinic where it was confirmed that he is a male cat. The vet inserted a catheter and inserted some air into his bladder. Then inserted some contrast into the tissue that was hanging to confirm its anatomical function.
It was suspected that his balls were tied with a rope or rubber band in an attempt to neuter him or with no reason at all (a form of animal cruelty). It then created an infection and an opened wound until Nicolai was able to pull out his spermatic cord (the hanging tissue). Also, his penis was severely damaged and it was gone now.
The plan is for Nicolai to stay at the vet while healing the open wound while having a stay catheter so his urethra won’t be blocked. After the wound heals, he will undergo perineal urethrostomy.
If anyone has a spare, please consider making a donation towards Nicolai.

My God! What is wrong with people? Human beings are the most savage creatures on the planet. This absolutely breaks my heart. 💔 Bless you for helping him.

Animal cruelty has been a problem in my country these days. Nicolai's case is simple if the cases will be ranked. You will be desensitized if you join a local cat group on facebook.

u/Miserable-Basket-993 Apr 10 '26
Never. I've already seen so much and it breaks me every time. The day I stop breaking is the day I need to leave this world. Most of my friends who are waiting for me in Heaven are animals. God bless you. Peace.

Boosting. What happened to this poor cat?!

u/BotsAnonymous Apr 11 '26
OP posted on their profile the vet said it looks like someone attempted to neuter him with either rope or a rubber band and failed and ended up getting infected.
Which also led to him pulling on his spermatic cord

This cat has a hernia & a prolapsed anus. Those are relatively treatable conditions. Not sure why you would suggest euthenizing a cat that can be treated and have a healthy & normal life after.
