“Howdy out there! This is Earl, and I’m popping by to introduce myself and say ‘thank ya kindly’ for all your donations, love and prayers. I had given up hope and was in so much pain. Just an old beat-up cat no one wanted, and now I’m on my road to recovery and feel wanted and loved. I have all of you to thank for that,” the shelter wrote.
By then, Earl had his first surgery, and through it all, he remained a purring lovebug. So often, cats that suffer the most horrible abuse and injury can be so inspirational as they show so much love and trust despite it all.
“He’s a great guy and has had his first of a few surgeries. He is taking it all like a champ and purring his way into all the veterinarian’s and staff’s hearts,” they wrote.
In a video update, Earl is doing great and such a sweetie. He’s so sweet and loving that they consider him “truly magical.”
“He’s doing great and is the sweetest boy! He’s truly magical, and we are so honored to have him in our lives,” they said.
Senior special needs kitties like Earl are stars at this wonderful nonprofit and get all the attention. And people truly love seeing them bounce back and get the spotlight they deserve. It’s a good reminder that there are still lots of loving and caring people out there, despite what we often see in the news.
For another example, 8-year-old Frankie arrived last August after someone noticed him walking the street with a badly infected eye. Like Earl, he’s FIV+ and was seriously injured, missing teeth, an eye, and had badly crumpled ears. Frankie is a favorite and loves all the attention he receives at Milo’s.
As you can see in his picture, Frankie is a total character! This shy boy warms up to people and turns on the charm! A favorite with staff and volunteers, his shy smile, shaggy fur, and loud purrs make Frankie the total package!”
