Meet Sammy. He was found last week sheltering in the backyard of one of our regular volunteers in the heart of North Central Regina. Sammy was so sick and malnourished that he could no longer walk. He was just skin and bones, and was only using three of his legs. We rushed him to the vet clinic, where they quickly stabilized him. Sammy is now recovering from a wound on his leg, and from a bad case of upper respiratory infection, common in rescued cats. He is still too weak to be neutered, but once he is well enough, we will take that step. Sammy was clearly on his own for some time, judging by how frozen his ears were. He has lost a lot of his ears from frostbite. Our vet says that his teeth suggest he is about a year old, but his physical condition was so poor that he seemed much older. We are hopeful that we can rehabilitate Sammy so that he can once again enjoy being a healthy, young cat.
Even with his poor physical condition, Sammy has been a very loving and sweet boy. We love him!!!
Thanks to one of PFA's wonderful friends, Sandy, we have a foster home for Polly, who I wrote about below. However, we still need one for Sammy. Can you help? This amazing survivor needs someone to give him some serious TLC.
