Sherbert Needs Your Help

Sherbert's Story

Sherbert is almost 2 years old. He was rescued last year when his owners moved from an apartment complex leaving him behind. If you have met him you know how special he is. He is the type of cat that makes a lasting impression. He is "the" typical sweet male orange tabby! He plays with the baby kittens at the Next Step Adoption Center and will roll around with the most energetic of puppies. He definitely has "special' written all over him.

In the late Fall of 2008 Sherbert developed some neurological problems that have kept him from being adopted. Dr. Mark Brigham, at Greensboro Veterinary Hospital, has been baffled by Sherbert. He has probed, x-rayed, and treated Sherbert as much as he feels his education taught him to.

Sherbert has been referred to the NC State School of Veterinary Medicine. He is now there for testing, more x-rays, and an MRI and a spinal tap. We hope to get a diagnosis for Sherbert so that he can one day be a healthy kitty but this comes with a high price tag. Approximately $3200. As I write this Sherbert is undergoing testing at State.

I am sending out this appeal to ask for donations to help pay for Sherbert's medical care. Every donation, no matter how small, helps.
