Dobby is a 4 month old American Shorthair in Mountain City, TN, who needs $2,000 for Veterinary Hospitalization for Wound Care.

Dobby is a four-month-old stray baby boy kitten from Mountain City, Tennessee. He weighs 2.9 pounds. Dobby had an unfortunate incident with an unhappy dog on Monday, September 8th. As a result, his bottom was damaged and there is a large quarter size open wound on his little rear end. The good news is that Dobby can still pee & poop (yay!) and he has excellent litter box manners.

Dobby is eating and everything is good on the “front end” as the vet says. He has been at VCA Animal hospital since Tuesday, September 9th. He has received flea and ear mite treatment, antibiotics and hydrotherapy. Currently his wound does not require surgery (which is miraculous).
However, his wound simply needs some time to heal. This requires daily cleaning, medicine and monitoring.

Personal funds have been used for his treatment thus far, but the rate going forward for his care at VCA Highlands Animal Hospital of Abingdon, Virginia will be about $130 per day until the wound heals a little more and he can be brought to a loving home.

Dobby is very much a people-friendly kitten. He is not aggressive and not scared. He is a purring machine and wants nothing but to give and receive affection. While most kittens would be terrified, he is happily in the safest and most loving environment he has ever known.
