WARNING: THESE PICTURES ARE VERY GRAPHIC

Hi, my name is Claudia and I am Shermans' Foster Mom for Cats Inc.,
at first we didnâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t know what was wrong with Shermanâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s mouth. We cleaned him up and gave him antibiotics and, miracle of miracles, he was eating. When we took him to the vet, we discovered that he had a broken jaw. So far, heâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s had two surgeries with the possibility of a third yet to come. Heâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s a fighter and has warmed our hearts with his resiliency and good nature. He loves to nuzzle and purrs up a storm.

BUT, WE NEED HELP WITH THE BILLS.
Anything you can contribute will be appreciated.

Here is 1 of the Vets that helped reconstruct Shermans' jaw.

OMG! God Bless that poor kitty! I'm glad he's eating again; that's amazing. Best wishes for a smooth recovery.


Edit: maybe a disclaimer should be added before the pictures...some might not be able to stomach it.

I agree, perhaps a link to the photos with a warning? or post the photos lower down? That was quite a shock to see so suddenly! Thank god I wasn't at work!

Good luck with your little kitten, I hope he pulls through!

A disclaimer is a great idea in the topic...

Poor baby! I just want to hold him close and tell him that it will be alright! Does he still have teeth? I don't see any. Awww! I am so sorry to see him like this! How long did they say it would take to heal?

Get well wishes for Sherman!!!!!!!!

Thank's for your response.
He has a few teeth missing, but he is doing great. That does not stop him from eating like a pig. On wendsday, he has a check up appointment to see if a third surgery is needed. If not then he gets his stitches removed june 17

He looks a lot better now.His lower jaw is rewired. I will take some new picture.He is a true miracle kitty, he even purrs everytime you touch him. How animals can be so forgiving I will never understand.It breaks my heart, people can hurt them and they still love you. I know he is in great hands and he knows it too, but that should never happend to him

I'm glad he continues to get better. Poor thing. Where did you find him at? Any idea how it happened? Just curious.

We don't know what happened .Somebody contacted us that they found a injured kitty. The Vet thinks that he either got hit by a car or somebody kicked him. I personally think he got kicked, because he has no body damage.I have him in my house since saturday and he was very scared at first, but I gave him a lot of love and now he purrs all the time. I will update my post on sarturday with new pictures.Sorry for the wait, but I don't have a digital camera.
