I helped a kitty off the road that had been clipped by a car, and I’m just upset cause I absolutely cannot afford to pay for a vet right now. I ended up leaving him in the care of a woman close to where it happened who also couldn’t afford it, but would do her best to monitor him and keep him warm and safe.

He is a stray according to her, and up until today when I picked him up, he’d never been touched. I picked him up so easily, and he was wobbling and stumbling in circles, so most likely brain damage. I helped him lay himself down and petted him for a while, speaking softly to him, and he just closed his eyes and purred, probably to comfort himself from the pain.

I’m still asking around but no one can afford to help him right now.

He is such a sweet boy and I wish I was a millionaire so I could blow money on finding kitties in need like this poor boy and helping. I have a VERY territorial female at home that would probably rip him a new one, too. I thought leaving him with the other woman was best, but damn do I ever feel like crap about all this.

To the boy I barely know, I hope you get better. If you don’t, I hope your passing is swift and peaceful.
