Leo is an 10-week-old old Ragdoll mix cat in Providence, RI, who needs $760 for emergency leg surgery.

Leo was just 8 weeks old when he was found injured on the side of a road in rural Arkansas. He was suffering from two broken/fractured legs and was very sick! Animal Control believes he may have been struck by a vehicle. Leo was stuck at the shelter in pain until rescue stepped in to pay for his surgery.

Leo is a happy-go-lucky guy with an adorably grumpy face! He loves hanging out with the other foster kittens and hanging around the office staff. He is patiently waiting in boarding at the local vet hospital until he can travel to his new life and find his furever family! Although humans failed him early on in his life, he does not let that get him down. He holds no grudges!

Rhode Home Rescue has taken over care for Leo from our partnering rescue in Arkansas (Hope for Paws) due to their own lack of funding. We are both non-profit charities that rely on donations to get animals necessary vetting, supplies and other medical care.

Leo suffered from extensive traumatic injuries. He had a pin placed in his front leg and also had a splint on the other front leg for a smaller fracture. He was also loaded with parasites and needed antibiotics for secondary infections. Leo required anesthesia for placing the pin and resetting his leg.

Leo is special because of his fighting spirit! This little kitten has gone through more than most other animals ever experience in their entire lives! He is lovable, playful and just happy being able to get a second chance at life with his new rescue pals. He has the spirit of a warrior and has been able to overcome everything that's been thrown at him thus far!
