Quick update on Remi š
Remi is a senior we took in a couple of months ago. She arrived grossly overweight, with significant skin issues, severely matted, neglected, and covered in urine. It was clear she hadnāt been comfortableāor felt safeāfor a very long time.
She has since settled into our home and has already lost a significant amount of weight. Weāre moving slowly, helping her feel secure and respected. She has dry eye and isnāt thrilled about eye drops (she can be a little nippy), but weāre making steady progress together.
Remi has not liked being picked up. Early on, she would immediately become mouthy when handled. But the other night, I was able to gently pick her up to give her a bathāand instead of fear, I was met with affection. A small moment, but a huge one for her.
The first day she was with us, I was called in a panic to help get her out of the transporterās car at the vet because she appeared extremely aggressive. Once inside, she did need to be sedatedābut what she was, more than anything, was terrified. Fear, not aggression.
Remi is learning that hands can be kind. That care doesnāt have to hurt. That sheās finally safe.
She is why we rescue. š¾
