8/15/23 – It was July 20, 2023 when I first heard from Carolyn about a local mobile home park which was being cleared of all of the mobile homes. Carolyn reported that cats were scattering everywhere as heavy equipment and vehicles were being brought in. The park management began to kick out caretakers of the stray cats who had been left behind and left to multiply. Bob was one of those poor animals. He was found squatting beneath a trailer which was scheduled to be torn down. Bob appeared to be in a great deal of pain around his mouth; the rescuer was concerned about a serious infection. Bob also appeared to have an upper respiratory infection. Carolyn and her friend were doing everything possible to catch the many cats and get them vetted/spayed/neutered on their own but they needed help for Bob. We were thankful to be a part of that Village and offered to help in any way we could. Bob has been treated for the infections and will have dental surgery on August 22. Carolyn reported today that Bob is stable, eating and grooming but still in some pain. Please pray for all of the animals on our streets. You may be seeing more and more posts from us because of the overwhelming number of requests for help that we’ve been getting. One last thing I’d like to add — when I asked Carolyn to give me a name for the cat (as I normally do) she said this: “I am calling him Bob because he appears to have just been ignored, forgotten or invisible to people, as in the movie “What About Bob”. – diana
