Kevin is on his way into surgery right now! ❤🐾

04/09/2025

We're all rooting for this adorable, sweet guy - stay tuned for updates on his surgery here at MVS tomorrow from Dane County Humane Society! 🐾❤

We're huge supporters of DCHS - both through charitable donation of discounted services, sponsorship of events and more - but there is still so much that needs to be covered when caring for special cases like Kevin's. Check out his story on their page to learn more about him and how you can help.

A good Samaritan recently found a cat -- now named Kevin -- outside her workplace. He was in distress, trying to move, but he could only drag himself along the pavement. Kevin was brought to DCHS, where we performed an exam and provided pain management. X-rays revealed he was suffering from traumatic injuries to both hind legs: his left hip and right ankle were dislocated, and his right fibula was broken.

After consulting with a surgeon at Madison Veterinary Specialists & Emergency Care, Kevin is scheduled to undergo two orthopedic surgeries this Thursday (April 10) to address these injuries so he could go on to live a normal, pain-free life. But he can't heal without YOUR help!

We are asking our generous community to help raise $6,000 to cover the cost of Kevin's surgeries, ongoing medical care, and recovery. Right now, YOU can be a part of Kevin's healing journey.

You can help Kevin heal at: https://donor.giveshelter.org/page/Kevin

Despite the trauma he's endured, Kevin remains sweet, affectionate, and full of hope—greeting staff with head bumps and gentle purrs. Read his full story now at www.giveshelter.org/kevin

Any additional funds raised will be used to continue the work our Animal Medical Services Team does every day to provide high quality medical care to thousands of companion animals each year.

Can you tell that Henry is loved? 🥰 This sweet pup came into our emergency service paralyzed in his rear legs. The emergency team evaluated him and a neurologist was called in to perform an emergency MRI and surgery. Just over two weeks later, he was able to walk into the lobby to see Dr. Lau for a recheck. We are so happy for him and his family. ♥️🐾

A very special thank you to our retiring hero, Gracie. Her incredible service as an MVS blood bank donor for 6.5 years has helped with 26 life saving donations! As a universal blood type, DEA Negative, her impact has been substantial over the years. 🩸🐾♥️

Sophie and Inara may be very different sized patients...but the both underwent the same surgical procedure called a hemilaminectomy after MRI revealed the cause of their paralysis. They each came in to the MVS neurology team unable to walk, but were back on their paws just a short time later at their recheck appointments. We're so happy for both of them and their families. 🐾🐾

Fendi is a 4 year old Shih Tzu Mix who came into our emergency room two weeks ago when she became unable to use all four of her limbs. She also had a severe skin infection. Luckily, Fendi is as strong as she is cute. She was transferred to our neurology team and after an MRI, she was diagnosed with a C5-C6 disc herniation. Fendi underwent ventral slot surgery to decompress the spinal cord right away. She came back for a recheck last week and was walking—just in time to celebrate the holidays! ♥️🐾

🐾 A Heartfelt Thank You to Our Retiring Heroes! 🐾

A huge thank you to Onyx and Lucas for their incredible service as MVS blood donors. Together, they’ve been part of our program for 9 years, making 24 life-saving donations! 🩸

Now, after all their hard work, they have officially aged out of the program and are entering a well-deserved retirement. We wish them both a lifetime of happiness and relaxation! A special thank you to their parents for their commitment to the program as well.
