Quesorito is a 3 month old American Shorthair in Aledo, TX, who needs $1,000 for surgery, medication, care.

At just 3 months old and weighing slightly over 1 pound, this tiny orange kitten named Quesorito was found abandoned, with his fragile leg left in a rotting cast and an upper respiratory infection making it incredibly hard for him to breathe.

When Quesorito arrived at the shelter, they were heartbroken. His leg had a horrible stench to it, as his skin had begun to break down and become infected underneath the tight cast. Unfortunately, the shelter did not have the resources to help this tiny kitten, so he was marked as “rescue only” and put on the euthanasia list.

With just 45 minutes left to spare, he was tagged by Saving Hope Animal Rescue.

Quesorito had to be sedated to carefully remove the cast, revealing an untreated break in his leg. Thankfully, the damage could be fixed, and he's already started his road to recovery. He’s now on pain medication, antibiotics, and eye drops to address his infections. He will need a weekly resplint as he grows. This brave little kitten is also on strict cage rest for the next few weeks to ensure his leg heals properly.

Quesorito's caretakers speak of his sweet nature and how he's already showing signs of improvement. Once he’s fully healed, Quesorito will be ready to find a forever home where he’ll never be abandoned or neglected again. We need your help to give him the care and love he deserves.
