Please Help Us Save a Life

Will you help save Brutus?

Brutus is a handsome 6-year-young domestic long-haired black kitty with a heart of gold. He has been through a rough period health-wise, but is still holding strong. Brutus needs surgery to remove an obstruction in his urethra and save his life.

Brutus was in the county animal shelter through no fault of his own, waiting for someone to come along and adopt him. As people passed by, he would rub against the cage for attention and give head butts to the volunteers. Brutus is a “people cat” and just loves attention and affection.

One morning Brutus was found not looking his cheerful self by a staff member and rushed to the shelter vet. The vet, concerned with his condition and prognosis, determined Brutus would need more medical attention than the shelter could provide. The shelter called LAPCATS for help. Could we give this great cat the extended medical treatment that the shelter could not?

LAPCATS stepped up and went into action. Brutus immediately went into sponsor care and was taken to our usual LAPCATS vet. Brutus was fitted with a catheter, and while he was under anesthesia, neutered. Then the treatment began.

Brutus has now been hospitalized for over a week with a good prognosis, and surgery to correct the blockage from UTI is the next step. Everyone at the vet’s office loves him and we are crossing our paws he can be back with us soon and ready for adoption.

Please, if you are able to help LAPCATS save this great cat by contributing to his medical fund, Brutus and LAPCATS would be so thankful. (All contributions are tax deductible.) Brutus will be a happy, healthy boy again, and ready to go to his forever home.
