Mittens is a 9 month old Mix-Breed in Lucerne Valley, CA, who needs $2,000 for Emergency Care.

My brother in law called my husband and said he just had a litter of baby bobcats, we were intrigued, so we headed over to see. When we got there, they were definitely not baby bobcats! But, my husband looked down at his feet and saw the cutest little face staring up at him. He picked him up and immediately, they were in love. They have been pretty much inseparable every since.

Last night, Mittens didn't come home. We searched all day and we'll into the night. Finally, we found him curled up in some grass. My husband immediately reached down to pick him up and right away, he started meowing and trying to get away. My husband, with tears in his eyes, rushed him inside and sat him down. Mittens is unable to move his back legs. He calls out in pain if he tries to walk.

He is full of love and curiosity. My husband is a mechanic and Mittens sits by him, observing his daddy's every move. They are inseparable. He is always with Daddy.

I am currently looking for work, my husband takes any side jobs he can get, my mother just passed this week amd my brother in September. We are already having a rough time financially, and don't have the money for emergency vet care, but are desperate to help our baby.
