Sunfyre, The Kitten Found In A Parking Lot, Recovering from Orthopedic Surgery

10/23/25 Waking up from surgery, doing very well in recovery, and about to get some yummy kitten food! Sunfyre will go home this afternoon. Thank you all for the prayers and positive thoughts, and thank you Moore Veterinary Hospital Gina

10/22/25 Update: FHO Surgery is scheduled for tomorrow morning. Please keep Sunfyre in your prayers for a successful surgery with a quick recovery and healing time. He will be getting surgery by Dr Hilton who is an amazing surgeon. 🙏💙🙏💙 Gina

9/17/25 Update: We receive constant requests for animals in need of help on a daily basis. This sweet boy, found in Aldi’s parking lot, just got through 2 months of vetting through us and at his recent neuter x-rays were taken because of a limp that they couldn’t really evaluate until he was under anesthesia. He is about 4-5 months old and so lovable.

The doctor is recommending FHO Surgery.

FHO (femoral head ostectomy) surgery is needed to relieve pain and restore function. The surgery removes the ball (femoral head) of the hip joint to eliminate painful bone-on-bone contact allowing the formation of a new “false joint” made of scar tissue that provides cushioning and pain-free mobility.

Sunfyre also needs a home. He can live a very good quality of life with surgery.

The estimated cost without discount is $1,700.

If you can help us help him, please make a donation today. Thank you <3

7/18/25: Here is the email I received from an independent rescuer:
“I became aware of a kitten alone in the 9-Mile Aldi parking lot. A family was able to catch this poor baby but they couldn’t keep him. He had black tar matted in his fur, was absolutely covered in fleas and his ears were filthy. He was very lethargic when I got to him but I cleaned him up and its been 48 hours he seems to have improved. Eyes look good no signs of respiratory infection but he is all skin, fluff, and bones I am guessing about 12 weeks old, I am calling him Sunfyre. Any chance 4P1H can help with his vet care? He is so soft and honestly the most grateful kitten I have ever met. I can’t imagine how terrified he was with all the fireworks and being alone but he is an instant motor boat and purrs constantly. I attached some pictures.”

We offered to help and he was seen yesterday for full exam, vaccines, feline leukemia/FIV test, dewormer, and a parasite check to set him up for a healthier safe path while finding a forever home. Happy new life, Sunfyre! 💜
