| Public Resources - Success stories |
Celeste arrived one morning, brought in my a kind stranger that found her underneath a bush in his neighborhood. He didn't have a carrier, but she was out in his car and needed some medical attention. As we went out to look at her, she was just beautiful and sweet as can be. Doing a quick external survey, she had an open lesion about the size of a golf ball on her right hindquarter. We decided to get her in to a vet for medical attention and then some TLC. Before placing her in the carrier we decided to check the sex of the cat, and then the horror began. The wound actually ran down her hindquarter, around her bottom and onto her belly. It was a major wound that was infected, pussing, and really really smelly. We jumped in the car and drove like craze for an emergency appointment, thinking that this cat could not possibly recover from such an extensive wound. Boy were we wrong. An amazing vet and his staff operated on her multiple times, gave her water therapy on the wound, and gave their all. This whole time Celeste was calm, loving and endured her treatment with amazing calm. I think she knew she had used up another life and was going to be safe now. After a long rehab and recovery time, Celeste went into foster care, and eventually up for adoption. She was adopted by an amazing family and will have a wonderful life. Here is this amazing cat after her recovery.
