** $505 in pledges for the rescue that pulls! ** **Interested foster through rescue** Amarillo (ACCT-A-77222) is an approximately 6-year-old neutered male cat who was brought in by a concerned member of the community as a stray. Although Amarillo previously lived in a home, he's been on his own outside for a while, and he needs some special care to help get him back into top shape! He has dislocated his tail and is experiencing some urinary dysfunction, however, the presence of deep pain sensation at the tail base suggests that recovery of urinary continence is likely.
