We received a call about a man who had to give up his 16 cats because he had recently become homeless. When we heard that one was injured, we (of course) rushed right over to assess the situation. That's when we saw Milo, who has swollen eyes and seems to be unable to walk, though he can move his legs. He is going bald from what we assume is flea dirt (it is black and crusty and all over him) and he is severely malnourished. The people who had him said that he had been hiding from the landlord, who (I believe unknowingly) set off flea bombs inside the apartment where he was hiding.

When he was found, Milo was dragging himself aroud by the front paws. He also seems to have some internal bleeding indicated by the dark color of his stool. If anyone has any advice or support, we could use all we can get. He is scheduled for a 1:10 appointment today, so we will update after that.

RIP Milo. Your story brought a tear to my eye. You can run and play now and chase those silly bugs all you want.

Big Hugz to Melissa for helping him.
