Oscar's Story...
Oscar came to us from NY where he had lived for a very long time- possibly since birth-in a filthy parking garage in Jamaica Queens. Selena contacted us to see if we could help. He had been hit by a car and for some time had been dragging a broken leg with a protruding bone and he was also suffering from major eye infections. Selena took him to the vet and paid for extensive care before he came to the refuge. Oscar is very scared and has not learned to trust yet. However, he has made progress - he now will eat from your fingers or a spoon! He continues to need a lot of health care and several of our volunteers have decided to sponsor him. His friends in NY also send gifts towards his care. We hope he will soon feel well enough to enjoy the other cats and the freedom of the refuge.
