Charlie is a 2 year old American Shorthair in Hudson, FL, who needs $500 for Abscess Drain and Infection Treatment.

I was working outside at a plant nursery and Charlie comes running up to me at 2months old about as a stray. Seemed like he was running from a wild animal. He was so sweet and didn’t leave my side the rest of my work day. He followed me to my truck and he ended up coming home with me. He got all of his shots, he got neutered and now lives happily with me.

Charlie likes to go outside when I’m working in my garden. Normally an hour or two a day during the daylight hours. He was outside for an hour and all of a sudden he walks slowly up to me and I can just see blood pouring out of the top of his ear with two gashes. I have no clue where it came from. Then 3 hours later his mouth underneath starts swelling. I can’t afford to get him checked.

Charlie has to sleep on the left side of my head at night or on my chest. It’s funny because if I move him he comes right back instantly like it’s a game. He loves water also which is cool for a cat. The laser pointer is his favorite toy. He has a lot of manners also.

To be able to have help to see if he has an abscess that needs to be drained or to see if his gashes are infected can determine the life or death of him. I can’t lose him, he’s only 2 and my best friend and I can’t afford the vet sadly. He won’t eat or drink.
