8/21/19 – Two nights ago I received an emergency call about a kitten found in the garbage whose eye was protruding and he appeared very sick. Fortunately, we were still able to get him into a vet still open. Gabriel was stabilized but it was determined that his eye would need to be removed. His surgery is scheduled for this Friday. The rescuer took Gabriel home after the vet visit and he met another kitten who was recently rescued with a similar eye issue. The rescuer was a little apprehensive in introducing the two but, happily, they have become fast friends. Gabriel’s medical bills will probably be close to a little over $500 before all is said and done. We told the rescuer that if we can be successful in raising dollars during our Matching Campaign, we would help with Gabriel’s buddy (the black kitty). So, if you can help, it would be appreciated. Candice, the rescuer, said that Gabriel was immediately sleeping with her and was a purring machine. These animals would die a horrible death without all of us working together. – Diana
