LEO NEEDS YOUR HELP: While Deborah and Diana were feeding cats,they found a kitty huddled in the corner of an alley, unable tomove. The cat was not walking, and seemed in shock. They provided ashelter, food and water for Leo the cat, but he wasn’t eating ordrinking, and looked totally terrified.

The next day Leo was still in the shelter. They removed him toclean the shelter; his right back leg was three times the size ofhis other leg. Leo went to the vet, and the news was bad. He musthave been viciously attacked by a dog. The right/swollen leg wasbitten badly and the left leg was broken in several places. Leo rana very high temperature; there was a possibility that his leg hadto be amputated. The estimated bill is $6,000, and $3,000 wasalready donated.

He did not hiss, growl or fuss. He’s a beautiful orange tabby, avery friendly cat, and he deserves another chance. Please help Leo.For more information, contact: [email protected].

CAT’S GET ALLERGIES TOO!

Your cat has a stubborn itchy rash around his head and he’s lickingall the fur off his stomach. Maybe he even has sores on his skinfrom all the scratching he’s doing. You’ve gone to the vet andfound out that he doesn’t have fleas or ringworm, and you don’tthink he’s been exposed to any other irritants. Now what?

Your kitty may be suffering from food hypersensitivity. The mostcommon food allergens are wheat, corn, beef, pork, dairy and fish,and you may be able to reduce the severity of your cat’s conditionby switching to a food that doesn’t contain these ingredients. Ifneeded, your vet may give your cat a steroid shot to bring downacute swelling and itching.
