A Staff Member writes : Lurch was brought to us on the 5th as a stray. He needs immediate local vet care due to his condition. He has possible lymphoma, however we are not sure if the mass is benign. He has also been diagnosed with cystitis and uroliths. Please pull and take to a local vet as soon as possible. He is truly a cute sweetie.
