The Fund For Zorro Kitty

Zorro is a feral kitten that we found very sick and weak, with severe anemia from fleas and worms. He has been treated for the parasites, and has been given IV fluids for dehydration. He is slowly recovering, but his medical bills are piling up. If he recovers, we would like to have him as our store kitty. Any contribution to his recovery would be greatly appreciated.  Please stop by What the Rock?! to donate some change for Zorro.  Thank you for your generosity!
