Help Contigo get the treatment he needs!

Contigo is a five-year-old sweet boy who landed in the Fulton shelter with a large mass on his chest. The mass is growing daily, the coloration is changing, and Contigo is carrying this literal weight on his chest everywhere he goes. His dedicated foster parents are giving this sweet boy a chance of living his best life without the baggage!

The shelter clinic did everything they could for him, but his mass is beyond what they are able to remove. An initial needle aspiration was performed, but the results came back inconclusive. The only way to know what this mass is — and to give Contigo a chance at a healthy future — is to remove it and send it off for full testing. 

A veterinarian outside the shelter is willing to perform the surgery he needs. Contigo’s surgery date is already set for early 2026. He has a medical foster fully committed to supporting him through surgery and recovery — all he needs now is the financial help to make the surgery and testing happen.

Despite everything he’s been through, Contigo is the gentlest soul. He’s calm, sweet, and endlessly grateful for safety. He loves burying himself in leaf piles, digging his special little holes, and sunbathing for as long as you’ll let him. 

Thank you for helping us give Contigo the best care and quality of life that he deserves!
