A sweet and loving feline named Santo was found near death on the streets of Pennsylvania. Animal rescuers were looking for feral cats for their TNR program when they spotted the emaciated cat with a disfigured face. He was clearly in pain and needed emergency surgery.
“He was very skinny when we found him so we didn’t know how long it had been since he had eaten.” He wouldn’t have survived much longer on the streets…
Santo was rushed to a local veterinary clinic for emergency surgery to repair the numerous broken bones in his face and jaw.
The rescue’s first concern was for Santo and once he was getting the medical care he needed, they reached out to Greater Good Charities’ Emergency Animal Medical Fund to help cover the costly surgery and ongoing care.
Emergency Animal Medical Fund was started to provide grants to animal shelters and rescues to cover the costs of medical care of homeless pets to help save lives. With your support, we are able to help severely injured cats like Santo and give them the second chance they deserve.
Santo has endured so much pain, but he doesn’t let his past impact his sweet personality. He’s in good hands now and his caretakers shared, “He is a gentle soul that loves attention and a sunny spot.”
