I Raised Money To Save A Stray Cat’s Life

408

ADVERTISEMENT

This is BoyBoy, a stray cat that was hanging around my house. He was suffering from severe dental issues and I could not handle seeing him this way. It was breaking my heart…

He was pretty wild but with a little bit of patience and a lot of love I was able to gain his trust enough to get him into a carrier. I had to raise the money to cover his $1000 vet bill but we did it.

Have a look at his amazing transformation!

    Thank you, Jennifer! I care for a colony of feral cats and can appreciate the amount of work you did to gain his trust. He will be your best friend forever!

    Thank you. It took a long time to gain his trust. I wanted to help him so bad so much sooner than he allowed me to. He even ran away once before I helped him, he was gone for months and I just new he went away to die but then he came back and he looked like he was dying. I knew I had to get him somehow and I did. I was so happy. Thank you.

    This morning I just read an article about an American Dentist traveled all the way to Zimbabwe to hunt/kill/skin/behead a lion. It broke my heart. Thank you for showing that those evil people are the few. Love your story. It makes my day better.

    My boyfriend and I have a cat like this. He is a stray but my boyfriend made him friendly. His leg got injured though (he can't walk on it and most of the skin is gone near the paw) and we had to scrape up the money to take him to the vet. The antibiotics and treatment were really expensive but now he may have to get his leg amputated to live. The procedure is far beyond our financial reaches though and it's really sad because he's such a sweet kitty. He was even nice to the vet :(

    Start a GoFundMe account for him...People are amazing especially when they know your heart is in it. If you are willing to provide shelter and care for this kitty you will be surprised at how many people that will be willing to help financially. Also, Google "Need help with vet bill' There are other resources out there that can help a great deal.
