Support Bud's Healing at Hart to Heart Rescue

Update 8/6/24

Bud had a check up today at the vet. His handsome coat is coming back (it had to be shaved to remove Matted fur and many harmful ticks.). His wounds are healing, his sore foot is better. The best news is his blood sugar stabilized and he isn’t diabetic. But he is FIV positive and he is feral. He has been living in a cage with his amazing caregiver Jill but he still can not be handled.

Thanks to all of you who contributed to his healing. You are truly angels!!

The next challenge will be finding Bud a permanent living situation. He can not go back where he was because of his fiv status and because someone was trying to hurt him. Please keep Bud in your prayer intentions - that he continues to improve and finds a furever home.

Update

Bud is a very sick cat. The vet had to shave his matted coat and he was covered in ticks. He is malnourished, anemic, FIV positive and potentially diabetic. Luckily he does not have Lyme disease. He also has an injured foot and numerous cuts. It is good that he was captured when he was! He is living with a foster and will need further veterinary care in 2 weeks. Please support his care!! Photos show Bud before and after his coat was shaved.

I am raising funds for Hart to Heart Animal Rescue to help Bud recover.

As many of you know, my retirement job is helping at a cat rescue. This morning I was transporting Bud, the cat, to the vet. When I asked what was wrong with Bud, I was told he was a feral cat and someone was trying to injure him with mouse traps and a BB gun. We won't know until his Vet exam is done the full extent of his injuries. In addition, there were 2 other adults and 8 kittens rescued with Bud.

I have not been able to stop thinking about Bud all morning. I talked to him in the car as he cowered in his cage - telling that not all people are bad.

Our rescue is funded entirely by donations and Bud's care will likely top $1000! Today I am challenging my friends - can I get one hundred people to share $10 to help Bud recover?

I appreciate whatever you can share, even if you can share a prayer for Bud.

Thanks!
