Just a thought here, are there any veterinary colleges near you? If so, you might want to consider contacting them. Some vet schools run clinics and might be able to help or know of a place that will. Many prayers are being prayed for this little guy. Please let us know how things work out? Thank you and bless you for caring enough to help!

Jack Sparrow has an appointment with the white-coats for this afternoon. I'll be keeping the lady who found him posted, and I'll update here.

The woman who found him might be willing ot help out, because she's been having her ferals neutered at a regular clinic nearby for almost full price. I told her yesterday how one of the shelters in our area has free feral neuters Tuesday through Thursday if you can bring the kitty in a trap before the shelter opens thos mornings, and she had never heard of the program.

Oh. My. Goodness. I think I'm going to cry.

The good Dr. heard my story and offered to perform the surgery free of charge. For now I'm treating the eye infection, and when I get back from my family reunion in a couple of weeks, we'll re-check the eye and talk about scheduling surgery.

Also, he's FeLV/FIV negative (will re-test in a few weeks) and crusted with fleas, so he had a bath today. After the blood draw for the FeLV/FIV test he decided that maybe I wasn't teh scariest thing in the world and actually started cuddling up to my hands and purring.

Also, I have the green light to get some pictures. Jack is VERY upset after the vet visit, blood draw, and bath so i'm going to give him some time to regain his composure and eat. Pictures coming tonight!

How nice of him! We'll be patient about the pictures, I promise!

I read this on Facebook but wanted to comment here. This brought tears to my eyes. Such good news!!!
How difficult do you think it will be to get him adopted? I might regret this later, but I might even consider taking him IF a home can't be found. I almost took another kitty with eye issues from ARF, but he was adopted before my deadline I gave myself. Please don't hold me to this though. It will need to be discussed in length with the BF.

I have one customer who might be interested, she needs to chat with her husband. I'll keep you posted, but I don't anticipate any trouble placing him. He's a GORGEOUS kitty.
