Victim of Neglect Needs Our Help

Walter was surrendered by a family that was "downsizing".  Barely able to walk, a vet exam revealed he suffered from 2 badly broken hocks (back ankles) from abuse & neglect.  His rescuer's, Maine Coon Adoptions in Oakland, have been given the options of a costly surgery or euthanasia, and are desperately trying to raise the funds to afford the 1st option.  Walter is currently on restricted exercise & movement, but he’s in good spirits & he loves being adored.  Walter will be available for adoption once he's recovered.  Can you please help us help Walter?  Every dollar will help, and no donation is too small.  Please share Walter's story with those you know.  He needs our help now.  Thank you.   To donate:  http://www.youcaring.com/pet-expenses/walter-s-broken-hocks/73545
