I, for one, would chip in for his medical expenses.
Can't you "adopt" him or have one of your family membes "adopt" him, and then make arrangements to have him transported to a new home with someone from here who said they would love to adopt him?
It could just be our little secret here at TCS
That baby deserves a home. He has such a sweet face and such sad eyes. I think he knows his time is nearing an end

Shhhh.....the thought has crossed my mind.Originally Posted by StarryEyedTiGeR

First....he was given until Monday(tomorrow) to see how he does treated. I'm waiting to see what's decided. Friday, it sounded like he'd be euthanized. Now I'm not so sure....I've been pushing NOT euthanizing him & using logical reason to back up my decision. I might be getting through.
If the only issue is cost....then I can get the cost of his treatment covered, I'm sure somehow I can figure it out.
Is there a way to get donations through Petfinder?Originally Posted by white cat lover

I will give you guys more info tomorrow once I know more. If I end up bringing him home, I'll only be using a topical treatment(I don't like oral fungal meds on such an old kitty). I've got stock in the topical thanks to Damita.
I will know more tomorrow!
I do hope something can be done for him.
Aww... I sure hope the news is good today. He's such a handsome man... my heart is breaking for you both.

No news is good news! I know he's still around, I think they're still discussing it.

If i was closer, I would!!!
Part of me is scared to keep reading this thread, because I don't want to read that dear sweet Bailey has been put down.
Then another part of me keeps checking hopeing that someone has adopted this sweet boy.
If there was any way on God's earth that I could adopt him, I'd do it in a second.
If this beautiful boy gets PTS that face will haunt me forever.
I just Pray that there's an Angel out there for him

Monica, they'd let me adopt him.....but there are risks with that, for my cats. I have to decide if the risks are worth it for my kitties. If I adopt him, he will have to live directly with Cow....Cow's never had ringworm. So I'd be taking on bathing Cow every 3 days with an anti-fungal shampoo for 6-8 weeks & praying he doesn't get ringworm. I also have to hope Bailey gets along with Cow.
Then there's the possibility that PJ & Punky could get ringworm from him, they have no immunity from Damita's ringworm.
The sheer costs of treatment.....I'm not sure how much I dare to take on. ($75/cat)
I've got to get a chance to talk to my parents.....they are not going to be happy.

You can't keep him seperate until the ringworm is gone? Give him the oral meds. They work better. If the choice is to possibly get sick on oral meds or surely die, which is the better option? Or like others have said, just adopt him and rehome him yourself. The no shipping policy your shelter has is a bad one.
Sadly I am in the wrong country, or I would take him on. I do hope you can come up with a solution though.
