Ratatouille is a 4-year-old DSH in Gridley, CA, who needs $2,000 for Leg Amputation.

Ratatouille and his twin sister Pastry came into our lives when they were 2 days old. A litter of 3 (Poppy passed away at about a week old) that needed our help. We bottled feed them and quickly fell in love with both their unique personalities. Ratatouille has always been the more sensitive one and follows his sister everywhere. He loves noises bumps and requires it everytime you pass him.

Touille (we call him that) loves to snuggle up to his sister or our Chihuahua, just about anywhere. As long as he is next to someone he is a happy boy. We created the catopia, so our cats could have a safe place to go outside during the day. He loves, absolutely loves chasing bugs and pollen flying through the air. The catopia lets them explore, smell different things, eat grass, sun bath....

COVID has done a number on many families and it has to ours . We built the catopia to keep them safe and he found a way out and got hurt. We want our Ratatouille to heal and come home, but we can't do it on our own unfortunately.

He was attacked by something...racoon seems the be the likely hood. He was rushed to Muller in Sacramento and they worked so very hard to keep him alive, and they did. However, we have learned he had a partially collapsed lung, severe muscle damage to his inner right hind leg, hip joint out of its socket and pneumothorax. He is slowly healing but will need that leg amputated.

Ratatouille loves life in general, and water bottle caps. He gets so worked up when you grab a water bottle, he wants to drink some of it and steal the cap. He plays with our Chihuahua Maggie all the time, mimicking what she does. She rolls on her back, he does the same. The have a special bond. Touille is also a cat like likes to know what your doing and tries to be involved in it.
