<div>Hello everyone.

</div>

<div>Yesterday, 6/10/2025, I found a very sick cat outside of a pizza shop. You could obviously see that he was having trouble breathing, his fur was horrible, and he was very lethargic. It broke my heart to see him laying on the ground, and everybody was just passing him by and ignoring him. I decided that I was going to take him and try to do whatever I could for him; no animal deserves to live like that and to be just discarded.

<div>I took him to the urgent vet in the area and ran bloodwork, a snap test, and X-rays. He was found to be anemic, other levels indicating infection/inflammation were found, he is FIV positive, and the most shocking thing found was a bullet in his hind leg (we think this is a pellet or small caliber bullet, but I am not sure; I don't know bullets). He is also not neutered and has bad teeth.

</div>

<div>We got pain meds, antibiotics, eye drops, flea and tick meds, and dewormer. He is currently at my home with a room to himself with blankets, beds, food/water, and a humidifier. He eats like he never had food before, so I am watching how much he eats at a time so he does not get sick.

</div>

<div>When we took him into the vet, obviously he did not have a name, so the staff named him Mufasa, but I was actually thinking of naming him Leonidas.

</div>

<div><strong>My goal is to get him better and then get him fixed and also get his teeth taken care of.</strong> After all of that, then try and integrate him with my other cats.

</div>

<div><strong>I am asking anybody for any help you can offer to get this poor baby better.</strong> This was an unexpected cost, but I couldn't just pass him by and leave him to suffer. I have uploaded pictures of him and also of his discharge paperwork and bill from the urgent vet. He is going to be seeing my primary vet soon and go from there on treatment. I am also waiting for a copy of the X-ray showing the bullet and will upload that if I can, but it does state in the discharge paperwork that a bullet was found.

</div>

<div>Please, if you can help at all, that would mean more than the world to me. If you need any other information, please let me know.
