He took the brunt with his head."</div><div><br></div><div>A passerby discovered this gray tabby in serious distress. Thankfully she knew who to call.</div><div><br></div><div>"He looked like a boxer who had gone a round too many."</div><div><br></div><div>Marci Bowling runs Watching over Whiskers, a foster based cat rescue that also helps pay for emergency cases.</div><div><br></div><div>She took responsiblity for Marley's care and has been documenting his journey, from surgery and recovery, to his release from the vet into a foster home.</div><div><br></div><div>"We see so many emergency cases. Most of them are really sweet cats that people let go inside/outside, and they just don't make it back one day because of something like this."</div><div><br></div><div>Last year, Watching over Whiskers raised and spent around $29,000 on ER cases. This year, it's taken on 54. Marley alone will wind up costing around $2000.</div><div><br></div><div>"He's got broken teeth and will have to have another surgery to pull those teeth that are in bad shape."</div><div><br></div><div>This cat lover is happy to help strays like him and also cat owners who find themselves in a bind with a big vet bill they can't totally cover.</div><div><br></div><div>But Marci would be happiest if WOW never had to help another Marley. And she says it's a simple solution to make that happen.</div><div><br></div><div>"We're big advocates of keeping cats inside. All of that, most of the time, wouldn't happen if they were just inside."</div></div><div><br></div><div>——————</div><div><br></div><div>Photo</div><div><a href="http://www.MoscowCares.com/Caturday/Caturday_080418.jpg">http://www.MoscowCares.com/Caturday/Caturday_080418.jpg</a></div><div><br></div><div>Video</div><div><a href="http://www.kspr.com/templates/2015_Sub_Video_Share?contentObj=489914951">http://www.kspr.com/templates/2015_Sub_Video_Share?contentObj=489914951</a></div><div><br></div><div>———————————————<br><br><div id="AppleMailSignature"><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Seeya 'round town, Moscow, because . . .</span></div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">"Moscow Cares" (the most fun you can have with your pants on)</span></div><div><a href="http://www.moscowcares.com/" style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><font color="#000000">http://www.MoscowCares.com</font></a></div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> </span></div><div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Tom Hansen</span></div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Moscow, Idaho</span></div></div><div> </div></div></div></div></div></body></html>
