Webber just may be the bravest cat you’ll ever meet.
Last month a Brooklyn woman who looks after a group of feral cats found the big, one-eyed tabby lurking on the edges of her colony. He looked thin and tired and it was easy to see he’d been on his own for a long time. When the other cats accepted him calmly, Webber seemed grateful to have found a safe place to rest. “Always room for one more,” the kind caretaker thought. She started putting out an extra dish for the new cat. But after a few weeks, the tabby looked thinner than ever.
The caretaker knew something was wrong with Webber. He was losing weight steadily and needed medical attention fast. But she couldn’t manage the expense so she turned to a local shelter for help. And they reached out to Neighborhood Cats.
We quickly brought Webber for veterinary care. We’ve learned he’s a senior cat, about 10 years old. He’s been losing weight because it’s hard for him to eat – because he’s missing a lot of teeth, and every one of those that remain are broken. He’s been in unthinkable pain for a long while. The doctors also diagnosed respiratory and ear infections. And one more thing: we’ve learned that Webber is completely deaf.
Most in Webber’s place – partly blind and wholly deaf, sick, hungry but in too much pain to eat – would be crushed. Many would lose hope. But not Webber! Despite all he’s been through, he remains fiercely independent and unmistakably hopeful. This big boy wants to get better.
Can an elderly, ailing feral cat find a happy ending? Yes, with your help he can! If we can make him well, our good-hearted Brooklyn caretaker is ready to welcome Webber back to the safety of her quiet colony. He’s on medications now to treat his respiratory and ear infections and is responding nicely. But his shattered and splintered teeth and infected gums require extensive surgery. The extractions and dental repairs he needs will be costly. And we can’t give him this life-saving care without your support.
Webber’s past is a mystery but we know he’s lived through too many hard times. Now, one operation is all that stands between this proud old cat and his forever home. Will you help him get there? We need to stop his pain and the spreading infection in his mouth. And we have to act fast.
