The story about neighborhood cat Clark Kent, the nearly dead feline rescued by our reader James last week, has touched a lot of people in West Philly and beyond. City Kitties and the staff at The Cat Doctor, which fought for the cat’s life, received donations from 40 U.S. states and countries like Australia, Germany, Ireland, France, Spain, Israel, England, Netherlands, Singapore, Canada, and Russia.
We also were informed that designer Jen Roder created a special “Clark Kent” button (pictured) which you can buy for only $5. All proceeds from the button sale are going to support other cats and kittens in need.

Is the cat doing ok?

According to the City Kitties Facebook page, Clark has been improving but is still not out of the proverbial woods yet. He’s had to have a blood transfusion and most recently underwent surgery to remove metal objects in his stomach. Surgery went well, but the cat is still in a weakened state and dealing with anemia and kidney problems. It’s hoped that the situation will improve as he gains weight and recovers from starvation. Time will tell.
