Boo Boo is a four-month-old Domestic Shorthair kitten in Green Valley, AZ, who needs $1,186 for emergency leg surgery.

Some sicko thought Boo Boo would make the perfect target to shoot with a BB-gun.

The poor kitten was found abandoned in the Arizona desert with her littermates. Luckily a kind man found the kittens and called Paws Patrol in Green Valley. When the rescue heard about the situation, they sprang into action. Boo Boo's leg was badly infected, and he needed help immediately.

"People think it's funny to target practice, but they're destroying an animals' life. This kitten is going to suffer. He doesn't know what happened and why he will die an early death if someone did not help him. It's painful to see people do things like that," Elizabeth L. from Paws Patrol tells Waggle.

Sadly, Boo Boo's injuries are so severe he needs to have his leg amputated. The rescue and Dr. Nolasco at Valley Verde Veterinarians think Boo Boo will be "kicking it" even on three legs.

You'd think Boo Boo would hate people by this point in his young life, but the man who saved the kittens is also fostering Boo Boo. He reports the kitten still purrs constantly and is so kind. The rescue says the resilience of animals amazes them. "The ordeal scared us, but a loving human can go a long way," Elizabeth adds.

Paws Patrol has saved nearly 3800 cats since 2006. The nonprofit organization relies on donations, especially for expensive medical cases like Boo Boo. They are grateful for any donations that can help get Boo Boo back on three feet and off to a new life where people love him.
