Toby is finally back with his family after being attacked by a coyote in Lake Country.

The black cat was in his family鈥檚 backyard on a harness attached to a tether run line when he was attacked by the coyote on May 30.

According to Kesh Cuerrier, being attached to the tether was probably what saved Toby鈥檚 life. Toby belongs to Cuerrier鈥檚 mom who rushed the feline to Tri Lake Animal Hospital with a broken jaw and his mouth ripped open along the gum line.

Currently, Cuerrier鈥檚 mother has spent $1,000 in medical bills and more needs to be done, which is why a GoFundMe was started.

Toby has had his jaw wired shut and his skin and gums have been reattached.

鈥淗e is on only soft food and must be hand-fed due to the cone and injuries,鈥� said Cuerrier.

In six to eight weeks, Toby can have his jaw reassessed but in the meantime, the cat will be in and out of the vet to ensure he is stable.

The is looking to raise $750 to help with Toby鈥檚 medical bills, which are currently at $490.
