Mouse


This is Mouse. She was rescued this spring when someone in the community alerted us to a momma cat and her 5 kittens sheltering in an old dog house trying to protect her babies from the neighborhood tomcats. She was taken into foster care when the kittens were about 5 weeks old.
All kittens have been adopted except for one, little MJ (Mouse Junior), now known as Frankie.
When PFA tried to get Mouse spayed she almost died on the table but with the quick thinking and action at Victoria Vet Clinic they were able to reverse the anasthetic and bring Mouse back around. They determined she had a reaction to the anasthetic and found lots of mucous in her lungs. Mouse returned to her foster home with a shaved belly, a tattoo and medication for Upper Respiratory Infection. After 2 rounds of antibiotics she has now been on Prednisone for 3 weeks with 1 more week to go and then needs a check up to see if PFA can proceed with her sterilization then adoption.
Mouse is such a good momma cat, and is still a bit timid due to her experience living on the streets and now all her medical issues. However she still greets you with a meow and loves to have a good head scratch. She has a beautiful long coat and is super soft.
