Leo is a 7 year old Bengal in Aledo , TX, who needs $800 for Liver Treatment and Weight Control.

Saving Hope Animal Rescue

Leo's case is one of neglect we do not often think of. It is one of overfeeding and neglect for his health. Leo was brought into the vet to be euthanized by his owners because he no longer had the ability to climb into a litter box, forcing him to relieve himself on the floor. They overfed him, neglected him, then wanted to euthanize him because he could not function due to their lack of care.

Leo is now with Saving Hope Animal Rescue in Texas. His liver enzymes are elevated, a clear sign that his body is struggling to cope with the excess weight. We’ve already begun the process of helping Leo slim down and regain his health, but it’s a challenging journey. He requires multiple blood draws to monitor his liver function and special food to support weight loss.

Leo is a Bengal, one of the most agile, active cat breeds. On average a male weighs about 12 pounds, Leo weighs 23. The burden on his joints, his inability to move freely, and the discomfort he endures every day are the tragic results of this kind of neglect. To see this done to any cat, especially one who is extremely active, is cruel.

Please consider donating today. Together, we can help Leo overcome the effects of this heartbreaking neglect and give him a future filled with health, happiness, and love.
