Please help Oscar from being abandoned in critical condition.

When Castaway Critters took Oscar in, he was in critical condition, and 17 other rescues had already denied taking him in. His eyes were crusted shut, his fur was completely matted, he was severely dehydrated and infested with fleas, and the infection in his mouth was so advanced that he could barely eat. His tail had fallen off long ago, and the smell coming from his tiny body told us just how much suffering he had endured. Oscar is at least 12 years old, and despite everything he's been through, he is still fighting.

He was rushed to Shores Veterinary Emergency Center, where he has already undergone sedation, bloodwork, FIV/FELV testing, fluid therapy, flea treatment, and the removal of three severely infected teeth. Veterinarians discovered extensive infections in his mouth, and because he is so thin, additional testing is being done to determine whether his weight loss is due to his dental disease or something even more serious.

The good news is that Oscar tested negative for FIV and FeLV. Now, they're praying that there isn't another underlying illness standing in his way.

His medical bills are already significant, but they couldn't turn their backs on him when so many others had no choice but to say no.

Today, Castaway Critters is urgenly asking for your help. Every donation will go directly toward Oscar's emergency care, diagnostics, medications, and the treatment he desperately needs. Oscar has spent far too long suffering alone. Now, let's show him what love feels like.
