Left In the Summer Heat: Wisp Needs You

Meet the cutest little kitten named Wisp. He was found in the dreadful summer heat by a dedicated TNR volunteer in East Nashville. His mom was nowhere to be seen, and he looked to be in rough shape, sitting with his head down but running for cover every time the trapper got close.

He was eventually cornered under a trash can and taken to the vet for a check-up.

When he got there, it was discovered that Wisp was in even worse shape than previously thought. He was emaciated, covered in fleas that were slowly draining him of life, and to add insult to injury, his coat was infested with fly eggs that were already starting to hatch into maggots.

Vet staff quickly stepped into action, giving him several baths and gently combing out the fleas and fly eggs, a process that took over 4 hours. During his exam, they also found that he has a congenital deformity called pectus excavatum. Now that Wisp is on the mend from his time outside, this rescue's next step is addressing this condition.

Even though Wisp is tiny and had all the odds stacked against him, he fiercely wants to live, so with lots of care (and snacks), he has almost doubled in weight! He has begun to play and is loving all of the attention from his foster mom. Can you please help Proverbs 12:10 provide the best care for Wisp on his recovery journey? Thank you!
