Please Help Us Save Sweet Felix!

This is an extremely sad story, and one we want so badly to have a happy ending. A friend of one of our volunteers reached out to us a month ago about a cat who showed up in his yard with a small wound on his neck and looking a bit disheveled. He feeds two other cats outside, so this poor soul found his way to the food source.

Unfortunately he hadn’t shown up much since then so we couldn’t get to him. In the past week, he started showing up daily and looking worse with each passing day. We tried to trap him over the past few days and he wasn’t having it.

His time was clearly running out and we were getting desperate. He allows pets and even head butts and rubs against our legs, but we didn’t want to risk picking him up and getting bit. Because trapping wasn’t working, one of our very brave volunteers picked him up quickly while the other volunteer held open the carrier. And finally - he was safe!

He has so much going on, and for so long, it’s beyond heartbreaking.

He is such a sweet, loving, kind boy. He is either blind or has very little sight. He has swollen lymph nodes, two large abscesses on his neck, with necrotic tissue that will most likely need surgical removal. He’s dehydrated, has an upper respiratory infection and is extremely thin.  His back foot and his tail are also bleeding. He has a long road ahead of him.

One of the most incredibly upsetting things of all is that while looking through old posts, we found someone had posted a sick looking cat a year ago! And it's him!! He’s been out there suffering for a year. And because of how friendly he is, he was clearly someone’s pet. He deserves so much better.

Please donate to Felix’s care if you can and please share his story!

Thank you so very much.
