We’ve held off making this post because it was just too heartbreaking in the moment but we did want to make sure this darling, amazing cat who had an absolute crap life and just the most unfortunate luck was remembered and acknowledged. Several weeks ago one of our partner vets reached out about a cat they suspected was being abused…they were going to try to get him surrendered but needed a rescue to step in, which we gladly did. This adorable nine month old cat presented with a broken leg several days old already; two ears with major hematomas; whiskers cut off; a cloudy damaged eye and other marks/scars that didn’t make sense. The owner of this cat was belligerent and unbalanced and in spite of it being a corporate owned vet, the dr and vet tech stood firm and got the police involved and after much drama the cat was surrendered to us. We immediately had the cat assessed fully and it was determined the break needed surgical repair which was scheduled. Ty received all clear on pre-op labs and diagnostics and we were excited to get him back on track and ultimately into a loving home, where he’d be cherished and cared for as he and all these babies deserve. Sadly that was not to be…this young, presumably healthy cat immediately went into cardiac arrest during his anesthesia and could not be brought back. It’s so damn unfair and incomprehensible how one cat could have so much bad luck…he finally found advocates who put a lot in the line to not let this cat leave with an abuser…the only comfort here and it’s minimal is that his last days on this Earth were spent being madly loved on and pain free as he was finally getting regular pain relievers. We take a lot doing this and this one hit hard. So all I ask is for him to be remembered and in his memory if you see or know of an animal being abused or hurt…you step up and in! Evil can only continue if good people look away. Please don’t!
