About this campaign

A few days ago, this little guy was posted as found in the city of Harrisburg. Nobody came forward as the owner, so he was given to someone else.

Everyone thought he would have a lovely ending.

Turns out, he was BACK on the page as found AGAIN.

After Castaway Critters spoke with a few people, they learned that he was allegedly tied outside 24/7. And there is a cat that apparently belongs to the same owner and begs for food in the neighborhood. They are currently trying to find the kitty.

Alfredo is severely matted down to the skin. They are unsure how he is even able to walk without being in pain. His rear end was matted shut. His ears were full of thick fuzzy mats, and because of that, he isn't able to hear. He is NOT neutered. He is coughing. If he was tied outside for a long time, he could have some trachea damage. He was also FILTHY, dehydrated, and was very scared.

They immediately got him bathed and shaved, which put so much relief on his face. However, underneath those mats, they found even more sadness. His skin was actually stained from urine. Urine burns on his underside and inside of his legs. He felt like a sheep the way his curly fur turned into a mat.

His fur was so matted that it actually wrapped around his genitals. When he peed, the mats were absorbing it and just laying on his skin. This is absolutely heartbreaking, and if you can help support Alfredo to overcome this horrible abuse and get the medical attention and love he needs, Castaway Critters would be so grateful. He did not deserve this type of neglect.

Thank you for your continued support.
