Lightfoot is a Domestic Shorthair Cat in Des Moines , IA, who needs $1,000 for Wound Care.

Saturday, July 29th, my husband came rushing in the house calling for me to come help a cat who had been attacked by a raccoon! I hurried out and found a STARVING tabby cat with several large wounds on his hind hip and leg. I went inside and got a towel, hydrogen peroxide, and antibiotic ointment and went back outside to get the cat.

This guy has only been in our home for a few days, but I can already see that he's special. He doesn't make a sound when I clean his wounds, even though I know that it MUST hurt badly! He even crawled over to me this afternoon to snuggle after I cleaned his wounds and put ointment on them! He is gentle and sweet, and doesn't complain.

This boy has obviously gone through a LOT in his life! His sweetness in the face of all his pain and suffering gives me hope! What a brave and loving cat despite all of his troubles! I hope that I can be as brave and sweet as he is when I am in pain...

This poor cat is (literally) starving, had a tick in his ear, and was hurt badly by something. One of his wounds will need stitches, and he may be missing some teeth. I will take him to my vet to get him treated.

I REALLY need your help since his vet bill will be high, and I don't have a job yet. I just can't let this boy struggle with the pain of his injuries just because I don't have the money to help him. Please help me to help him!
