Ron "Ginger Cat" Weasley is a 4 year old Mix-Breed in West Monroe, LA, who needs $500 for Enucleation of the Eye.

My husband and I both grew up pet lovers so it was only natural for us to continue this tradition when we started our own family 18 years ago. We have 2 teenage boys, 2 dogs, 5 cats, a bird and a few fish to keep things interesting. We know it's a lot. It can be overwhelming at times but they have all come to us in a time of need, a stray here, an orphan there, and a shusky escape artist.

Our most recent vagabond came along November 15. A dirty ginger and white tabby, weighing all of maybe 5 lbs which was skin just hanging off of bones. He couldn't stand on his own. My son's friend had found him and the shelters turned him away. I was his "only hope" he pleaded. Once I saw the pitiful thing I caved and took him in. Ff to December 20th and he's up to 15 lbs and picking fights.

When he's not picking fights he is using me for a cat bed. He lays vertically up my chest with his paw stretched over my shoulder and his face close to mine. I have several mental illnesses, am disabled and spend most of my time alone. This cat has brought me joy and affection that I didn't know I could still feel because it's been so long. But he just had to pick a fight and FAFO. Now he has a ruptured eye.

The Neighborhood Vet in our area estimated a removal for his eye will be approximately $500. He has brought me so much joy after losing our home in the 2016 flood, both our vehicles, our water is on cut off notice, I just want to save my cat. 🙏
