Meet Tex

Tex was found living with his mama and his brother in a storm drain at the local Lone Star Steakhouse (wonder where he got his name!). We don't think he'd been around people before, but he quickly warmed up his big purr motor and really enjoys being held and petted. Unfortunately, Tex came to us with luxating patellas -- knee caps that pop out of place. This is a correctable condition that many kittens grow out of, but some need surgery to live their lives walking without pain. Although we are not sure if Tex will need surgery, we are using him as a posterchild to raise money to help kitties with this condition. Donations toward Tex's Knee Fund will go toward Tex's surgery if he needs it, or to the next kitty with this problem if he does not.
