1/30/25 – Scottie, a neighborhood stray, is said to have been thrown out by his family when they were evicted from their home. A good Samaritan, Shannon, had been feeding him but one day he showed up looking as if he had a face wound (although it looks like he is bleeding from the eye, it wasn’t); she could also see a small chest wound. Eventually she was able to get within 20 feet of him and catch him. Shannon brought Scottie (named after her uncle who also was “a rascal”) to a vet where he had two visits to treat his wounds and an upper respiratory infection but he still needed full vetting and she did not have enough funds to cover that. Shannon had Scottie in a large crate in her basement while he was recovering and hoped to make him her inside pet once he was tested for fiv/felv, vaccinated, and neutered.

We authorized Scottie to be treated at Five Mile Animal Hospital. Today Scottie is being tested, vaccinated, and neutered. We hope that Scottie will learn the value of being a family cat and be fully recovered soon. – diana https://4paws1heart.org/donations/
