Update September 28, 2017: Mr. Kool has left the shelter after being rescued by Serenity for Seniors and has eaten some Rachel Ray cat food. Updates can be found on their Facebook page.
This senior beauty is running out of time at a rural Georgia shelter and needs your help. Mr. Kool is almost fully funded with rescue donations but he may not live much longer if he remains in the shelter.
Mr. Kool is declawed on his front paws. At age 13 he was surrendered by his owner to the Cobb County Animal Shelter in Marietta. He’s been there since September 19 and it’s been confirmed he’s no longer eating.
His Facebook thread on Cobb County Kitties states
* SENIOR ALERT* FRONT DECLAWED* 13 yr old Mr. Kool surrendered by owner!

Mr. Kool needs out immediately. At this point, a $45 donation could save his life. You can pledge to get him out on his Facebook thread above. (NOTE: He’s now fully funded!)
To the heartless owner who threw him away when he got old, I hope karma’s a bitch and you reap what you sow.
An update will be posted in the comments once he’s safely out of the shelter.

Well done. I am very impressed.
Have you seen this often Elisa?
I’ve been applying for a line of credit using my home as collateral, one reason for which so I could fly across the country and rescue someone like this. However I haven’t been able to secure it. Stay cool Mr. Kool… It’s a major emergency to get him out of there…
May God bless you and your shelter. Thank you!
Thank you so much for the article with his story Elisa! Totally agree with you about the donations!! Rescues need all the help and extra help they can get.
That’s why I didn’t worry if donations went over the goal. There’s always another senior who needs saving or extra vet bills that come up.
