Kitty left to die on sidewalk

Donation protected
Hi, everybody! My name is Beth and I am hoping you can extend your hearts in helping this poor kitty. If you know me personally , you are aware that I am a huge animal lover. I usually have both dog and cat food in my car to feed strays. I reside in Mississippi and am a proud owner of 7 cats, 3 dogs and a parrot. Recently, I have been spending more time in Metairie assisting my sister with care for my mother. She has had a rough year but getting stronger everyday. I usually bring my pups with me when I stay with her. My dogs enjoy a little bit of city leash walking around the neighborhood. Unfortunately, on one of our walks, we came upon this poor kitty lying on the sidewalk in front of someone's home. The kitty didn't look well and I approached and startled him as he can not hear. He seem to be malnourished and feeble. I did not rescue him that day but returned with a can of tuna. Being found in front of a home in a middle class neighborhood I couldn't fathom that people would pass by and not look twice to this poor cats condition. Better yet, there were a ton of kids toys along with bikes in front of this particular home. The next morning while my mother was getting therapy , again we set out for a another walk around the block. I made sure that my pups had their jackets on because it got really chilly the night before. You can imagine my shock when again, I see kitty curled up on the cement in the same location freezing and wet. That walk was cut short for my dogs to rush back to my mom's house in order to get my car to save this cat. When I picked him up and wrapped him in a blanket he let out the most horrible cry. I could feel and see all the bones protruding from his body. He has multiple abscess. He reaked of feces and urine. I believe he has a infection in his mouth and a upper respiratory infection. What I don't understand is how people can just walk by and do nothing. What are we teaching our children? And we wonder why humanity is what it is today. The cat is now at my mother's house in the garage. I have him set up with a bed and heating pad. Fresh water and food. He is starving for affection even though he can hardly stand . I really need help in getting this guy the proper care. I am hoping to raise money for vet care or have someone willing to take him in and show him what it's like to be loved and cared for. I am not in a position at this time financially to get him the care he needs. Along with starting a new job, caring for my mother which I live an hour away from and my own menagerie it not possible for me to give kitty what he needs and deserve. Please help.
