Fred is a beautiful 14 year old tabby who is extremely loving & affectionate. Sadly this sweet boy was abused and neglected by his previous owners. They had all 4 of his paws declawed, cutting off every one of his toes. When they moved from a trailer to a new home, Fred was not allowed to come with them, and left alone in the trailer. Thankfully Fred was rescued & brought to Healing Hearts. Fred is super curious, loving and out and about with the others. He was lucky enough to have healthy bloodwork for his age, but his teeth are in horrible condition. Fred is in so much pain that he has refused to eat on his own for nearly all of the past month. When he is fed with a syringe, he will swallow the food, but then vomits it up later. Since the day he came here, Fred has slept with his foster mom every night, but now he is too weak to do that. He feels so horrible now that he will not even eat cheese, which is his favorite food. We have found a vet that can fit him in as soon as next week if we can get enough donations. Please consider donating to help this sweet, gentle, boy. He is rapidly running out of time. He is on pain medication but due to the vomiting and refusing to eat, he has lost a dramatic amount of weight as you can see from his current picture and his original picture. He has become so emaciated that he is very weak and struggling to walk. The wonderful Dr. Good at Hermitage Animal Clinic has agreed to treat him. Fred urgently needs high quality, high calorie pate canned food. What he needs most, though, is donations to cover his dental cleaning and extractions. We have found a vet that can fit him in as soon as next week if we can get enough donations to cover the procedure.
