Katie just called me from the road, on her way to her mother's house to pick up the kitten and take it to the one place that would offer her help. She called everyone she could think of today but the only vet who would see him was going to charge $165 simply for the appointment and Katie didn't have that kind of money. He wouldn't take a post-dated check. She's now taking him to a shelter where they have promised to have a vet look at the kitten today.

The kitten is about 6 months old and, even when Katie cleaned his eyes, cannot open them so is essentially blind - and may be permanently blind even if he survives his URI. He is also feral so is terrified by any touch or sound. He can only breathe through his mouth and has pus running down from his nose all the time. If the vet believes that he cannot be pulled through the URI, then Katie knows he needs to be euthanized.

However, Katie hopes, and I know all of us are hoping that he can be saved. She needs encouragement, strong thoughts, and donations since the shelter is willing to help with medical care but can't cover the kind of help this kitten needs. Thanks to Lisa and others who have offered help since I think Katie would find the situation hopeless without such support.

Come on "kitten found in the road", pull through this and become a PT cat.
