UPDATE October 21

Stitches out, all beautifully healed and ready to go.

UPDATE October 3

Invoice came to $3,474.96. Thanks to all your wonderful donations, we can pay that plus some left over for his follow-up visits. Any funds left over will go to help other cats needing vet care. We are so very grateful to everyone! You are all THE BEST. None of this would have been possible without the amazing, dedicated super cat rescuer, Susan. She has earned a special place in kitty heaven.

Here he is after surgery.

UPDATE October 2

He is in surgery now. The estimate is somewhat higher than original because he has diarrhea and parasites, and needs some extra grooming to keep him clean and lower the risk of infection. So please continue spreading the word. And THANK YOU to everyone for your amazing, super-generous donations!!! We are almost in tears.

We need your help urgently! Snowy cries out in pain with every step he takes. (We have cropped his photo because it is too graphic to look at.) We don't know how this happened. He was found in a feral colony fed (and neutered) by volunteers. One of his feeders managed to trap him and turned to Peninsula Catworks to pay for emergency veterinary care.

We have him scheduled for amputation surgery. As you can see, this is estimated to cost $3,225, which will take a huge bite out of our very small non-profit fund. We need your donations urgently, please. Whatever you feel you can spare. Every gift helps. And please spread the word to friends, colleagues, social media, email.

Our plan for Snowy, after he has recovered in foster care, is to bond him gradually to a new home in a safe backyard, watched over by an experienced volunteer cat rescuer. With your help, he will start a whole new life.

Thank you for caring.

SNOWY's mangled foot must be amputated urgently!
