Hermie Is Learning What It Means To Be Loved

How does a little cat end up like this?

Hermie was found outside alone, frighteningly thin and covered in fleas. There were so many fleas that simply getting him comfortable and free from parasites became an immediate priority.

But his extremely low weight is especially concerning. When a cat comes in this thin, it can be a sign that something more serious is happening beneath the surface. Hermie will need extensive diagnostics to understand why his body is so depleted and determine what treatment he needs to recover.

Castaway Critters had no open space. No available fosters. And after taking on back-to-back hoarding cases, their resources are already stretched incredibly thin.

But how could they look away?

They couldn't.

The team made Hermie a temporary space in a ferret cage at their medical sanctuary and immediately began tackling the fleas and worms that had been overwhelming his fragile body. It may not be much, but for Hermie, it means a new beginning. A fresh start.

He is warm. He is clean. He has fresh food, water, extra nutrients, and people watching over him as he begins to regain his strength.

Now, Hermie needs our help taking the next step. His diagnostics and continued veterinary care will add to an already overwhelming financial burden for Castaway Critters.

Please consider donating toward Hermie’s care. Every contribution can help give this little guy the answers, treatment, and new beginning he deserves.

Hang on, Hermie. Your new beginning is already here. ❤️
