Skimble Skypaws Medical Fund
Tax deductible
This is Skimble Skypaws and we know these photos are hard to see but we believe that sometimes it's important to show what the cats look like when we rescue them. To pretend that things like this don't happen is to dishonor their story, their life and their struggle to survive. So we apologize if it offends or bothers you but it does the same to us. But you can help make it better! Read Skimble's story below and see how you can help him.
Skimble came to us when someone on social media was networking him and someone sent us his post. A kind man rescued him from a bad area on the streets of Los Angeles. He couldn't do what so many others had already done, walked by this poor helpless soul. He scooped him up and took him to a vet where Skimble was diagnosed with cryptococcois (you can read more about it here http://www.peteducation.com/article.cfm?c=1+2134&aid=254) which is a fungal infection. The good Samaritan didn't have the funds, medical ability or space to take Skimble so they asked us to take him.
As you can see his infection is VERY severe. We don't know how long Skimble wandered the streets like this but we couldn't turn him away when we were asked to take him. Other rescues said "no" not because they don't care but because of his condition and the cost involved in helping to save him. His condition will be life long and we hope that he recovers and spends a long and healthy life with us in our Lifetime Care Program.
Until we can make that happen he needs very expensive medication ($70/month) regular blood tests to check his liver as the medication can cause damage to the liver and he needs to see a specialist (we have an appointment on Saturday). We need your help, just like with Tommy we think that Skimble's life is worth something, he's incredibly sweet and gentle and he is trying so hard to survive this infection. Can you help us help him with a tax deductible donation to Skimble's fund? We so appreciate it and with your help we can give this angel a fighting chance.
Thank you as always for your, love prayers and support.
