Walter came to us a rescue intake. We run a pet sitting service and a client whose a police officer found Walter while on patrol. He followed her to her car and actually climbed in to the engine and had to be safely removed from it! Walter came to us with a bad upper respiratory infection, underweight, and covered in fleas and parasites. Walter is our little ray of sunshine in the rescue. He loves to play with the other kittens and our dog boarders we get! Myself and my husband are very attached to Walter and love him dearly. We have 11 other cats in the home for foster and our own kitties. He thinks he is a dog and loves to run and play with the smaller dog boarders too. When Walter came in it was a sad time for our rescue have lost more than one of our rescue kitties the same week due to old age and neonatal failure to thrive. Walter has been our ray of sunshine because of his outgoing personality. He loves to talk to us, paw at our faces if we’re not paying enough attention to him while he’s in our laps, he will literally chase you till you pick him up and hug. Walter unfortunately tested positive for Panleukopenia 13 days ago despite being vaccinated he only received his first vaccine before contracting it. He is in need of blood transfusions, and diagnostic care so he can continue to fight this virus. We have done 2 already and hoping he will not need a 3rd. We are a low income family that had the crazy idea to open a rescue as I am a vet tech and have pets dropped at my door step daily so help however we can. We have been doing everything we can on donations but are still in the waiting process for our 501c3 filing.
