Rescuers often say, "cats find the people who will help them." As independent cat & kitten rescuers, we've volunteered thousands of hours, dollars (and blood, sweat and tears) to save those "Not My Cats" ignored by everyone else.

Tiny Tim is one of these cats. He is a young tomcat with no microchip. Tim began appearing on camera nightly, searching for food in the frigid cold just before Christmas.

Our angel vet agreed to neuter Tim this morning, and that's when we discovered that he likely survived a car strike. Tim's femur is shattered, and he's been walking on it for two months.

While we absorb this news and devise a plan for assessing Tim's gait and pain level, we know that we've got to start fundraising for one of two eventualities: a complicated surgical repair, or rear leg amputation.

Please help us provide the veterinary care that Tiny Tim needs. When we reach our goal, we will disburse 100% of the funds raised to the vet or rescue that agrees to provide his surgery.

Thank you, and as Tiny Tim was known for saying, "Bless us, every one."
