Update: Theodore’s vet bill is covered! Thank you all 💙💙
What does it look like when a male cat is left behind- for weeks, months, years? A male cat that was loved and cherished. One who didn’t know how to hunt for himself or fight off other cats? Here’s an example. This angel wrapped in dingy fur with cuts, scrapes, and tattered ears could be the poster child for this scenario. Last night we trapped Theodore. He was starving and didn’t hesitate to immediately go in the trap. Unlike our ferals, he didn’t react once trapped. He wasn’t scared or angry. He was..relieved? That’s the best word I can come up with to describe what we saw when we looked into his eyes. It’s like he was waiting for someone to actually see him. To recognize he wasn’t a pest or just an annoying stray cat begging for crumbs and dumpster diving. We assessed Theodore around 1 AM (no we don’t sleep 😅) and almost started crying. He has injuries to his neck, cuts across his nose, he has goopy eyes, he was drooling, but most of all? He was leaning into our fingers as we pet him. Instead of dropping him at our clinic to be neutered we decided to get him in to see our regular vet. We don’t have a plan for him, but unlike so many others who saw him we aren’t giving up on him. We will get him vetted and cross whatever bridge those results bring. We need to raise about $200 for his vet bill. If you’re willing to help us care for Theodore all donations can be made to through Venmo or PayPal under his name. If you’d like to be more involved in his story we will need a foster home for him. If you’re able to foster this sweet boy please fill out an application at kittykathavenrescue.org or message us! We will update as we know more about him. 💙
