Meet Wiz, a sweet 2-year-old kitty who faced heartbreak and hardship but found hope and healing with help from Max’s Helping Paws.
When Wiz’s original owners packed up a U-Haul and told AJ, a kind neighbor, they were leaving him behind, AJ couldn’t stand the thought of this gentle cat being abandoned. Without hesitation, he welcomed Wiz into his home the same day. Within a week, Wiz became a beloved member of AJ’s family.
Not long after, AJ noticed something wasn’t right. Wiz seemed uncomfortable, and a visit to the vet revealed a painful condition called Feline Entropion—where the eyelids fold inward, causing constant irritation and risking blindness if left untreated. The solution? Surgery. But the cost was far beyond AJ’s means.
Living on disability and facing financial hardship, AJ managed to contribute $150 and gathered small donations from his neighbors. Still, it wasn’t enough. Desperate to help Wiz, AJ turned to Max’s Helping Paws.
Thanks to the support of Max’s Helping Paws, the critical funding needed for Wiz’s surgery was provided. Partnering with the caring team at Toro Veterinary Clinic, Wiz underwent the procedure and began his journey to recovery.
Today, Wiz is thriving. He can see clearly again and is free from the constant pain that once held him back. AJ shares,
“Wiz scared me... He’s moving around more, and we’re scheduling his post-op appointment this week. I’m so grateful for everyone who helped save my sweet boy.”
