Panini is a 2-year-old Domestic Shorthair cat in Huntington, WV, who needs $1,300 for emergency care.

Three dogs attacked Panini after she wandered into the wrong place at the wrong time. Now, she's fighting for her life and needs your help.

"She was a stray cat and had a terrifying experience when she walked into a fenced-in yard," Heather A., with One By One Animal Advocates, tells Waggle.

The dogs' guardians heard the commotion and quickly intervened to stop the attack, saving Panini from further harm. Then they rushed her to the animal hospital but could not afford her emergency care.

The clinic asked One by One Animal Advocates to rescue Panini, and the nonprofit group couldn't say no to such a sweet kitty with such a sad story.

Panini was in shock and needed IV fluids. The veterinary team sedated her so they could care for her wounds, including a leg injury so severe she lost all the skin on the limb.

"Amputation would be the quickest solution, but we are determined to save Panini's leg," Heather says. "She's receiving wound care and laser therapy, which helps stimulate healing, plus antibiotics and pain medicine to keep her comfortable."

This kitty is shaping up to be a loving companion once she heals.

"Panini is so affectionate and grateful for every meal and loves being pet," Heather says. "Your support towards her medical care is much appreciated. Thank you!"
