‘Lurch’ needs Medical Attention
**Update**. Lurch continues to make progress. He improves with antibiotics, but then will decline.
It has been recommended by 4 veterinarians (including specialists) that CT scan with rhinoscopy is the gold standard and is what is needed for a definitive diagnosis. While his trust fund still has money remaining, the medical bills have depleted the amount to $487. The CT scan will be upwards of $3,500. I have raised the amount goal amount to reflect this unfortunate large expense. Thank you in advance for any donation towards this procedure.

‘Lurch’ needs help!!
Paul & I went yesterday to have our chainsaw serviced at a small engine repair shop.
I have seen animals in sad health conditions, but this is the worst. This poor cat is a stray and is now hanging around the outside of the shop. I had to ask about him/her. They have nicknamed him ‘Lurch’ due to the eye condition and they said they weren’t even sure it was a cat at first, but is friendly.
I approached him and he was so receptive of the head scratches and attention. He followed me every step I took. To be honest, I don’t know what his future holds, but I want to help him. It killed me to leave, but I will be back....this time with carrier for transport.
I want to determine how bad his eye condition is; and hopefully treat it.
I want to treat his wound/laceration in the back of his ear and on his belly.
I want to remove the mats that have developed on his lackluster coat.
I want him to eventually be placed in a home where he will not have to fight for his next meal and to be loved.
I don’t know how much his medical bills will amount to...but this is my starting point. I am going to bring him to our vet and give this guy with such a sweet disposition a fighting chance.
Winter is coming and I can’t leave him outside to suffer.
Any amount you can donate will be appreciated. Thank you in advance.
