Greetings, my name is Kathleen and this plea for help is coming from my heart. You know the saying, it takes a village to raise a child? Sometimes it takes the community to help a stray cat that I named Cheerio. This poor cat has had an awful life from the beginning. Dropped off as a six-month-old kitten, I saw him starving, eating out of the dirt bird seed. I vowed that cat would never go hungry again.

Due to the elements of the area, though, this cat has encountered a hell that no one could imagine. I've tried my best to keep up with flea medicine and dewormer, but this cat is in need of a lot more help. Cheerio is afraid of everything due to all the trauma he has encountered. He's afraid of even the birds. I know you're wondering why I haven't taken him in, but I already have three cats, and that would really be pressing it with the landlord.

I am willing to help meet the desired amount, but I can't do this on my own. Cheerio has a bad infection and he is going blind. This is going to cost a lot to make him better and the most important part is he will not be suffering. If I am able to raise the money to get him better, I vow to find this amazing cat a home. Please, let's pull together and make a difference for Cheerio.

Thank you for reading my story.

Kathleen
