One spirit departs, another arrives

Meet Hard Luck Charlie- Charlie for short. Tonight as I was getting ready to just get into my grubbies and relax, there was a knock on the door. This man was standing on my front stoop with this kitten in his arms. He had found it on the highway on his way home. His passenger was someone who had adopted a kitten from me about two years ago, so he brought the orange kitty to me. I took one look at this little boy and ran him to the vet. He has no body weight except for (what I hope) is worms and not something else. He has had trauma to his eye, he was lousy with fleas, emaciated, dehydrated. He got de-wormed, de-flead, an antibiotic shot, supportive fluids and his eye treated. The vet said he would be better off with me than in a cage, so he is upstairs and he just looks so miserable. He finally ate some of the slurry I mixed him about an hour ago. It is going to be a long night- I just put the coffee on at 1:00 a.m. He is making this gurgling noise in his throat, but his nose is clear so there is no visible URI. He also vomited what looked like gravel. 🙁 If anyone reads this, he could really use your prayers-
