At Emancipet, we believe that every pet deserves to live a happy and healthy life. Because of our supporters, our clients like Maria, and her cat Flower, get the life-changing care they need.

Last summer, when Maria was visiting her son, she spotted a newborn kitten with a deformed leg dragging himself out of a garden of flowers. Despite his deformation, she fell in love with him instantly and named him Flower. Her heart went out to him, and she knew she had to take him home.

Upon returning home, Maria took Flower to their vet for a check-up. He was so tiny, weighing just 1.5 pounds at two months old, and needed a lot of care. The vet informed Maria that Flower needed to gain weight and get healthy for a surgery he desperately needed to ensure his deformed leg no longer caused him pain. They waited almost a year, searching for the right veterinary and surgical care. That’s when Emancipet came into their lives.

“Emancipet was a blessing. They were amazing and so caring,” Maria shared. 

Thanks to Emancipet’s licensed veterinarians, Flower underwent a successful amputation surgery at Emancipet’s Austin Dental and Surgical Center. The ADS center provides low-cost surgeries like amputations, as well as dental cleanings and extractions at a low-cost. Today, Flower is thriving on three legs, walking much better, and enjoying every moment of his life.

“The Emancipet team, from the veterinarian to the friendly staff, took exceptional care of Flower before and after surgery,” Maria added, “I thank the Emancipet family for everything you’ve done to make my Flower’s quality of life better. I recommend Emancipet to every family.”
