Default Another Purr Request

I've just heard of a problem with a fuzzball, and purrs would be
appreciated.

My friend's mum's cat, a 14-year-old ginger tom, has been savaged
by a pair of working dogs - owned by a near neighbour of theirs.
The dogs escaped from a car, and attacked the cat, who'd been
meatloafing in the sunshine.

He's lost an eye, and apparently muscle control on one side of
his face. The vet says he must have put up a good fight, because
he's also missing four claws - presumably, embedded firmly into
the dogs somewhere!

Economics aren't a problem. The cost, up front, was 300 pounds.
The vet estimates a total cost of around one thousand pounds. The
dog owner's insurers have already agreed to pay all costs. Ginger
is up and about, and purring - but here's hoping for a long-term
recovery...
