Hello to everyone, I hope this finds you well.

This sweet cat has been living around my neighborhood since 2020. He’s always been super friendly and has the nickname of “Botitas” , which means boots in Spanish. Botitas recently showed up with a painful injury on his left ear. A week later , it has gotten so much worse. As you can see in the photos, the wound looks raw and possibly infected, and I’m worried it will get worse before it gets better.

Right now, I’m trying to raise funds to take him to the vet for an exam, cleaning, antibiotics, and any treatment he may need to heal safely. I will also be buying a crate , cat food, and anything else necessary to foster until he is better. I was given the option of going the “free route” and giving him up to a shelter. Most shelters in Arizona put down animals when they are in poor condition. I don’t want this little one to suffer any longer, but he deserves love and a second chance too. He still eats, purrs, and trusts people, but clearly needs help.

I’ll be covering what I can, but vet visits, medications, and possible procedures can add up fast. Every single dollar will go directly toward Botitas’ vet bills, medicine, and recovery.

If you can’t donate, please share this post to help spread the word — even one share could reach someone who can help.

Thank you so much for reading and caring. ❤️
