This is a serious situation. I cannot hold back tears as I type this. This little one has taken up such a huge part of my heart already.
I am also rinsing his wound twice a day with Chlorhexydine solution to fight off infection. Stumpy will need BOTH of his back legs amputated. His left leg will be taken at the hip and the right leg we will "clean" up, so he is left with a little bit of a foot so he can get along well with three legs and use that back one for support. At this time he is eating and drinking well for me. He is purring when stroked, batting at my hair and pulling at my heartstrings more than any other rescue of mine has. This little guy has fight!!! Please help save him!
It saddens me so much....this is so hard for me. I cannot stop crying. Please people SPAY AND NEUTER your pets! If you do we can avoid situations like this from happening, and this little kitten would have never been born, or would have been born into the home of a responsible breeder. This little boy will never have the chance to run around like other kittens due. He will never have the chance to pounce on his mother's face after feeding and annoy her. He will be my little hopper if he lives.
PLEASE SAY A PRAYER FOR STUMPY. HE NEEDS ALL THE PRAYERS HE CAN GET. PRAYER THAT HE CONTINUES TO GAIN STRENGTH, THAT WE CAN GET HIS INFECTION UNDER CONTROL AND RAISE ENOUGH MONEY TO GET HIS LEGS AMPUTATED AND SAVE HIS LIFE. PRAY THAT HE DOESN'T GO SEPTIC AND HIS LIFE END ABRUPTLY. I HAVE HOPE FOR THIS LITTLE ONE AND GOD IS TELLING ME TO TRY FOR HIM. I CAN FEEL IT IN MY HEART AND SEE IT IN HIS EYES. HE WANTS TO LIVE!
Please everyone, I know that people are donating already for Katrina, but if you can find it in your heart to help my little one please do so. You can reach me at home at 541-747-9537 or at Banfield Animal Hospital (my work) at 541-342-5227. Ask for Cassandra. We can take cash, checks made payable to Banfield, or you can even pay over the phone with credit card.
I am trying to raise enough money to get this little one the help he so desperately needs. No one else would have given him the chance. The Humane Society and Animal Regulation would have euthanized him immediately! He has fight. We even nicknamed him Rocky.
My vet bill already is around $200 for his daily treatments with antibiotic injections and fluids, and I cann't imagine the cost of the surgery. I get a discount thankfully which helps. Most of you here know I do rescue work and I have spent close to a grand already this month and last vaccinating, treating illnesses, and over care for the rescues I take. Unfortunately I cannot afford to do this on my own, which is why I am asking for your help. Please please please help us! I am 100% sure that Stumpy would appreciate it. I cannot bare the thought of seeing his maggot filled leg any longer, watching those very sad eyes look deep into my heart and beg for his life.
