It's not uncommon for shelter pets to wear the scars of their past, but in Towhee's case, those scars are right on his face.

Towhee was found at only a couple weeks old, struggling to survive on the streets. He was suffering from a rampant upper respiratory infection that had overtaken his eyes, his lungs – his whole little body. But thanks to your support (and a Good Samaritan with great timing who scooped him up), that's not where Towhee's story ended. Towhee was rushed to safety and for over a month now, he's been receiving treatment under the close supervision of our medical team. It's taken time, effort, and a lot of love. But we're so happy and relieved to share that Towhee is doing better and finally ready for a loving home! His eye may always be scarred but Towhee's just happy to be alive and he's ready to shower a new family with affection. Learn more about sweet Towhee at spcawake.org/cats 🐱
