02/25/13 – “Eileen” – Special Needs Cat at Hart Co Humane

Hi! My name is Eileen and this is my story:

I am approximately 2 years old and up until now I had been living the life of an outside cat. There was someone who provided me with sufficient enough food and shelter to survive, but no one would claim me as their pet.

With no person of my own I not only didn’t get spayed and vaccinated, I didn’t have anyone to provide the care I needed when my leg was severely injured. I hope that’s one life lost and the next one will be better. I am a lucky cat, I was left at a caring veterinarian’s office, where after spending some time with me the staff and a humane society foster family fell in love with me.

They decided to rescue me! My leg had to be amputated; I was spayed, tested negative for both feline leukemia and FIV (which is important since I’ve been living outside with other cats). I am up to date with vaccinations, have been treated for internal and external parasites and put on preventative.

I know my story sounds sad, but my pain is gone and my purr is back. I am a very sweet and loving kitty and I promise to be a devoted companion.
