A Late-Night Plea for Bubba and a Life-Saving Yes

2/24/26: Just before Valentine’s Day, I received a late-night message about a cat found outside in heartbreaking condition — discharge from his eye and a traumatic wound to his rear leg with damage to the bone that could not be saved.

His name is Bubba.

He needed emergency amputation surgery to survive. He tested FIV positive but the doctor felt he had a chance at a good quality of life with treatment, so we approved $2,000 to help save him..

“Bubba” is now safe with a rescue and recovering.

I reached out for an update and can’t wait to share how he’s doing.
