Leroy’s road to safety started outside in the cold.

This winter, he was put outside in North Minneapolis. A neighbor noticed him and spent weeks trying to help. Leroy was finally trapped at the end of December and brought to safety.

At first, he was scared and unsure. He had been living outside in an area where many cats roam, and he arrived pretty beat up. Most of his physical injuries healed with time, but emotionally, Leroy needed patience. It took him a couple of months to trust people and feel comfortable around the other cats in his foster home.

And then there was his eye.

What seemed like an infection wasn’t going away because the problem was more serious. Leroy has severe entropion, which means his eyelid rolls inward. His eyelashes are rubbing directly on his eye, causing irritation, pain, and scarring to his cornea.

Imagine having something scratching your eye every time you blink.

That is what Leroy has been living with.

The good news: surgery can help.

Leroy needs ophthalmology care to repair his eyelid, protect his eye, and give him relief. This needs to happen sooner rather than later, but specialty care is expensive and payment is due at the time of service.

We are currently gathering quotes and looking for the best available option for Leroy. Early estimates put his consult and surgery around $1,700–$2,300+, depending on the clinic and rescue discount availability. Any funds raised will go directly toward Leroy’s eye care, surgery, medications, and related medical needs.

Leroy has survived being left behind. He has learned to trust. Now he deserves the chance to see the world without pain.
