I just got this tomcat in who has a huge hole in his neck. It is deep and nasty and needs a vet, but the budget is low because of a $700.00 emergency 24 hour vet visit last weekend. I thought at first when he was brought here that he had been in a fight and the wound had abscessed and broke open. But after gently picking him up and finding three broken ribs protruding out of his belly fur- I am thinking this mack tabby was hit by a car. I have done all I can humanely do until Monday when my vet opens his doors. I will be there first thing. He needs a name of courage- he is really broken. I have him out in the last enclosure- the one that isn’t fully insulated yet. He is on a heat pad inside of a cage with food water and litter. I have a call into my feline specialist but apparently she is out of town right now- so I am it. I was told the police had been called about this injured tomcat and they just wanted to end it for him.

He has a fever although I am not about to see how high it is- I put him on clinedrops, debrided his nasty wound and prayed over him. I am encouraged that he is eating and drinking and none of the food or water seems to be coming out of the hole on his neck. It is that bad- poor kitty. You can tell he has many battle scars- his ears are torn up and he just looks so tired. Please pray he makes it till Monday and that they can help him to come out of his injuries whole.
