The APL Health Care Director stopped by the vet's today to check on Pumpkin. She said he looks pretty scruffy but is doing as well as can be expected. Eating a lot, meowing a lot. They are still removing some maggots from the wound, but it does not look as though he will require emergency surgery. If things continue as they are he will continue to recuperate until Monday and have his leg removed then. This will give him a chance to get his some of his strength back and will increase his chances of surviving the surgery.
Thanks so much to everyone who has donated so generously. At this point, if all goes as planned, we have enough to cover his care. Any donations received that are not needed for Pumpkin's bills will go towards the other special needs animals at the shelter. Currently they have about half a dozen heartworm positive dogs who need treatment, several dogs with mammary tumors, a dog with a very severe inner ear infection who needs specialized antibiotics and pain meds, and many many more animals with medical needs. I am going to continue to donate all proceeds from my Etsy shop to Pumpkin.
Donations can continue to be sent via PayPal to ashtabulaanimaladvocates@gmail.com (gmail.com) or via this donation button:
or called in to Country Doctor vet clinic at 440.576.9440
Thanks so much!

Pumpkin is all of our thoughts-- by "all" I mean the folks I work with, my family, my friends, and my cat, Sabrina. We're pulling for you, Pumpkin!
And so many cheers for everyone working so hard to not only heal Pumpkin but to rescue animals everywhere. Thank you so much for your courage and your tenacity!
