About this campaign

Tommy Boy was found alone, cold, and badly injured—clearly a cat who had been through more than any animal should. At 10 years old, his body showed signs of a rough past. He had deep wounds on his face and legs, likely from an attack, and moved with visible discomfort. But thankfully, he was brought to Saving Hope Rescue, where care and compassion were finally waiting for him.

From the moment he arrived, Tommy Boy showed a quiet strength. Though his body was hurting, he allowed gentle hands to clean his wounds and begin treatment. His face had scabs and tears, his ears were ragged, and his front paw and rear leg were raw from trauma. But behind the injuries was a sweet, loving cat just trying to feel safe again—and he was finally in a place where healing could begin.

Under Saving Hope’s care, Tommy Boy began to recover. His wounds were treated, and initial x-rays showed no broken bones. He was started on medication and closely monitored. For a few weeks, things were improving—until he suddenly stopped using one of his legs. Further imaging showed his hip was slightly turned inward, and the leg bone had slipped out of place. This damage likely caused during his attack. Thankfully, he is now safe and can be kept on crate rest while he hopefully heals on his own, without surgical intervention. He will have further tests to confirm his progress.

He’s come so far already, and with continued support, he can get back on track to moving toward a pain-free, peaceful life. Please consider helping Tommy Boy on his road to recovery. Your support gives him hope, healing, and a future full of love.

Update
Tommy Boy has continued to come out of his shell and show the world that he has so much love to give! Saving Hope is continuing to monitor his progress with rechecks scheduled with the vet to discuss his treatment plans and best options for him. Thank you for your ongoing support!
