Meet Luca. He has been rescued from the streets with one of the worst maggot wounds we have ever seen and is in a critical condition.

This poor, poor boy was discovered slowly dying on the streets of Penang Island. He has extremely large wounds filled with hundreds, if not thousands, of maggots across his neck, shoulder and ears. The wounds are extremely severe as the maggots have eaten all the way through to his cartilage. The pain he must be in is unimaginable.

Luca has been rushed to our Penang Island clinic where he has received immediate pain relief and began treatment. We MUST raise funds for this sweet boy’s emergency treatment and care over the coming days and weeks. Luca deserves to live, and we are going to do everything we can to help him.

As a small charity, our lifeline simply isn’t possible without you. Please sponsor Luca’s treatment today. Thank you for caring.

Please note: if we are lucky enough to raise the funds required for Luca’s treatment, any funds raised above this will be used to support the other animals who rely on IAPWA’s lifeline.
