$5 Friday for Rusty!
We've raised $753 so far towards his $3100+ emergency vet visit.
This poor baby was born from a feral momma cat that some kind friends took in to be fixed and there were no signs she was pregnant. Then "pop", she delivered babies. This was the first Rusty was failed because if someone had fixed momma sooner he wouldn't have been born into this world, but he was along with his siblings.
Second human fail - Rusty had an adopter lined up, but after all this they backed out!
Rusty is back with his foster now and doing well. To keep it short and as simple as possible here's what happened...
From trying to expell the parasites (worms) from his little body, since he was a product of a feral momma, the last portion of his small intestine, called the Ileum, pushed its way down to the colon. This required surgery to remove the Ileum as it was damaged beyond saving. This is the only portion of the body that absorbs B12 to reproduce red blood cells. As a result, he will require B12 injections for life.
The B12 injections are only once a week as a kitten and then once a month as an adult, so no big deal. He will still be able to live a happy and healthy life.
So now we are looking for the right adopter for this sweet boy and pleading for donations to help cover his surgery costs so that we can continue our mission to save as many as possible!
We never back down due to cost when saving a life, but can't continue to do it without your support. Please consider donating $5 on this Friday or even $1...anything you can contribute will help us save more! If you can't donate, please help share Rusty's story!
