Dear Leather Doctor,

My nicest pair of boots have been damaged and I have been looking everywhere online for a solution. I stumbled across your forum and was very impressed. I'm really hoping that my boots can be salvaged with your help.
I'm pretty sure the leather type is unprotected Aniline as the color is not uniform throughout the boot and the surface is mat.
My problem is twofold: Water stains have darkened the toes of the boots and my friend's cat scratched them so that there are visible claw marks and in some parts the leather is slightly torn.
What is the best treatment in such a case?
I have attached some pictures.
I really hope there is a way to repair them!
Thank you very much for your help!

Sincerely,
Andrea
