Photos From Soi Dog Foundation's Post

Yuri is only four years old, but when we first met him, the poor homeless boy looked like he’d already lived all nine lives, and then some. He was found in a heartbreaking state by a kind person in his neighborhood. Yuri had gotten injured, and because he had no one to look after him, his injury got infected. As is common in tropical Thailand, maggots quickly invaded his wound.

No animal should have to endure this horror. Please give at https://bit.ly/SaveInjuredCats now so homeless animals like Yuri can be helped, and don’t have to languish in misery when they’re sick or injured.

Over time, as the maggots ate at Yuri’s wound, it grew larger and deeper, and more painful and horrific-looking. Because Yuri is so afraid of humans, the compassionate person who wanted to help him failed to catch him right away. Finally, he was successful, and brought Yuri to Soi Dog hospital.

Yuri arrived with a gaping, putrid-smelling, pus-filled wound crawling with maggots. He was dehydrated, his lungs were filled with fluid, and he was sneezing and congested. Our vets got right to work on the poor guy, first carefully and gently cleaning and dressing his wound, then giving him antibiotics for his infections.

When Yuri is well enough, our vets will vaccinate and neuter him. Meanwhile, he’s safe, has a comfortable place to heal, and is eating well.

Animal lovers like you are the only hope cats like Yuri have. Please show them you care by joining our Care for Cats Club. Your monthly gift will ensure there’s a place for homeless cats to be taken when they get sick or injured, and they won’t have to suffer endlessly. https://bit.ly/SaveInjuredCats Thank you.
