Funds for Gordon

Everyone meet Gordon: Urgent Rehab $ needed !!

FURR’s new “poster child”. This poor kitty is a perfect example of why Terry founded FURR many years ago and why she fights so hard day (and night!) for all the kitties who suffer so much when they’re left on their own!

Gordon’s Story … So far

A kind, animal loving man named Chris recently noticed a feral cat near his home who appeared to be in really rough shape. Chris called FURR and Terry advised him to begin giving the kitty food and water and soon the kitty came around regularly. A good start, but you can see in the photo above that Chris had good reason to be concerned this kitty had many more needs besides food and water. Even now, though, we can see this kitty is a “diamond in the rough” with buff furr and blue eyes!

Terry worked with Chris to trap the kitty and Terry took him to our Vet, Sound Cat Veterinary Hospital in Wilmington, NC who diagnosed Gordon these medical issues – imagine Gordon’s pain and suffering for who knows how long!:

Medical Issues:

Completely inundated with fleas and very anemic as a result

Jaw broken in 3 places in addition to rotten and abscessed teeth

Severe ear infection

Bloodwork: FIV Positive (still adoptable!) and No Feline Leukemia (yeah!)

Fractured hip – old injury – approach/treatment TBD

Treatments given to date while sedated:

De-flea-ed, deworm-ed and neutered

Treated for Anemia

Surgery very soon to wire his jaw together

Pain and antibiotic injections that last a few days

Microchipped

Bathed, as he was unable to clean himself due to his broken jaw and severe dental issues

What we need:

$1,500 more, beyond Chris’s generous donation, for the treatments given and planned jaw surgery

Chris has already has volunteered to foster Gordon during his recovery
