Default Prayers needed for a little stray

Last night I lost my heart. To a tiny half-starved brown tabby stray
cat. He came to me via a rescue group in Cardiff who had begged me to
look after him as a favor. The person dropping him off with me said that
he had been caught on a notorious farm scavenging and existence in a
feral colony there. He had walked up to the trapper and meowed, and had
been caught. He is skin and bones.

But that's not the story. He spent yesterday in the vet, alledgedly
being neutered. Last night, he was dropped off to me, with the imortal
words "he smells of wee a bit, and is wet and dirty and he needs a
bath".

I decided to leave him quietly, and fed him, leaving him for the night.
This morning, he had peed in his bed - badly. I thought that he just had
litter box issues, and then I examined him.

His tail is so badly damaged, it's paralysed. He can't move it or feel
anything. He can't control his bladder - he's permanently wet. It's not
a new injury. It is *SO* not a new injury.

I took him back to the vet this evening and saw the senior partner, who
is going to x-ray his spine and check him out. I have no confidence, but
my hands are tied at the moment with this vets staff. You might say that
I wasn't diplomatic with the way I pointed out that her staff should
have noticed what was going on yesterday.

Please pray hard and send whatever purrs you can that this little chap
will be OK. He doesn't even have a proper name yet, even though his
forever home is lined up with me, HRFL Tiger and Pandora if he makes it
through this.

I can't believe I'm so utterly gutted over the fate of a scraggy stray
with no name, who I've only known for 12 hours.

Please send whatever well wishes you can.

I'm sending purrs and prayers for the little lad. It sounds like he might
have been run over, and dragged down the road, this can cause the injuries
you described. I had a colleague whose cat this happened to. At first he
couldn't empty his bladder at all, had to be taken to the vets 2/24 to have
it done, and then he became incontinent. After many months, and he had to
be confined in a cage for some of this time, he completely recovered. He
had to have his tail amputated.

Don't give up hope. It might be possible that it could be done, just like
my colleagues cat. She nearly gave up once or twice because progress was so
slow. I persuaded her not to give up, but she agonised about it. The cat
is perfectly well now, can control his bladder but has no tail, so what?
Vino doesn't have a tail either. He is *such* a love bug. I could stroke
him and stroke him when he's so proud of his bananas.

and makes a full recovery.

Poor thing! Any idea how old he is and how long he's been a stray?
