Cadbury survived a brutal animal attack- now he needs your help to heal

When Cadbury was brought to the shelter by a caring community cat feeder, his situation was already dire. He had been brutally attacked by another animal—possibly a coyote—and the wounds were so severe that he was placed on the euthanasia list.

Shelter staff did what they could, removing the necrotic tissue and stitching his injuries, but Cadbury needed far more care than they were able to provide. That’s when Adopt a Cat Foundation stepped in.

Refusing to let this sweet boy’s story end too soon, the rescue rushed him into their care and secured an urgent appointment with their trusted private veterinarian. Cadbury will be seen first thing this week to evaluate the extent of his healing needs, continue critical wound care, and receive any additional vetting he still needs.

But his journey forward depends on compassionate people like you. Your donation today will go directly toward Cadbury’s medical treatments, follow-up care, and the support he needs to finally feel safe again. Every contribution—large or small—helps ensure this brave survivor gets the second chance he so clearly deserves.

Today, we’re thrilled to report that Cadbury is healing beautifully. His wound is closing well, healthy scar tissue has formed, and his fur is already growing back. The veterinarian is very pleased with his progress and says that everything looks great.
