Here are some pictures of the sweetie

A customer at work (Petco) had found an injured kitten in the parkinglot and brough it to us. They kept it in our grooming kennels over night and when I came into work this morning I took at look at him and just knew I had to take care of him
Here's what we know about his injuries so far:
-A decent sized burn on his neck under his jaw, about the size of a stick of gum.
-He has about 3 semi-deep scratches on his legs front and back
-His right front arm/shoulder is most likely broken.
-His eye has been injured in some way (possibly a bad scratch?) and was crusted shut but I cleaned it and managed to get him to open his eye on his own so that is a good sign!
By law, PetCo has to call animal control and let them handle the situation, so we did and they said that they could only put him down and nothing else. My boss called the corporate boss and they ok'd me to take him home and nurse him back to health and I am so glad I did. He is the sweetest little guy and purrs the instant you hold him.
I would like to ask you guys to please donate any amount if you can to get this little guy better. I read the sticky post about donations so until I get the address of Petco's veterinarian I will not ask anyone to send any money to my paypal account unless they request it. If you can't donate please pray for this little guy to be healed!
EVEN BETTER THAN A DONATION: If anyone in my area (Waco, TX) is interested in giving this baby a loving home PLEASE let me know! In the meantime, I am nursing him back to health and providing him a home but my husband would really like someone to adopt him because we already have 2 animals and live in an apartment and we would like him to go to a place where he can have lots of space to play
