Herbie the LOVE BUG! is a 6-year-old Mixed-Breed cat in Alameda, CA, who needs $700 for emergency drainage of an abscess and tooth removal surgery. .

Herbie the Love Bug aka Four-Eyes. He is a rescued stray who was living on our block for the last 2 years. We noticed him and his friend when we first moved in and slowly they became out little porch buddies. Herbie is almost totally blind, so when his friend disappeared (we think hit by a car) he grew very lonely and never left the porch. He is very sweet. Always wanting affection. We always made sure he had food, water, and a small little house in case it got too cold or rainy for him. Sadly this poor guy got beat up by another cat or a raccoon and got a terrible cut on his face. We watched him get sicker and sicker and a huge abscess grow. It broke our hearts to stand by and do nothing so we took him to three places that turned us away due to him being a stray and they weren't concerned with his emergency situation.
