Mr. Wigglebottoms
This fine gentleman is one of the cats in our care under Friends of Catalina.
Meet Mr Wigglebottoms, AKA Wiggles.
Wiggles had a rough start in life, with muscle spasms starting around 4mos of age. He is now over three years old and a diagnosis has yet to be confirmed.
So far Wiggles has cost the rescue over a whopping 7k in vet bills!
Thanks to a specialist in Tennessee we might be getting closer to an answer and hopefully a treatment that will improve his quality of life.
Your support and contributions will enable us to continue his care and lighten our financial burden.
This is just one of the many cats that you can help save.

It's time to show those Texas lawmakers that we mean business!
Although feline herpesvirus is not zoonotic, it can infect our larger feline friends too! As of now, it has been confirmed that bobcats are susceptible to this virus.
Texas is proud of it's wildlife, let's do our part to minimize the spread of FHV by vaccinating our domestic kitties.
Update: It is now confirmed that there are now cases of panthers and mountain lions being infected by this virus. It is likely safe to say that all felines are susceptible.
