10/27/23 – On October 6th, Paul Z. was out golfing when half way through the round a little cat came limping out of the woods in front of him. As he got closer, the cat was meowing at him and let him get close. He was clearly injured and was asking for help, so Paul picked him up and immediately went to the vet to try and help the little guy. The vet did x rays as he could barely walk and it was determined that Socs had a dislocated back left hip and needed FHO surgery to recover. Unfortunately, the family had just adopted a 4 month old puppy who had just been to the vet and, of course, the x rays and snap test for rescue Socs was not inexpensive, so the family could not afford the surgery for this sweet ‘boy’. The vet recommended Orion Animal Hospital and 4 Paws 1 Heart. We were contacted October 12 and we authorized Socs surgery at Orion Animal Hospital. Paul promised to do what he could to help with the cost.

Yesterday, we were contacted and received the following update:

“Missy (formerly Socs) is recovering well from her surgery last Wednesday. We changed her name because we were originally told she was a boy cat, but Dr. Zalac confirmed she’s a girl kitty.

It’s been just over a week and she is starting to get a little more mobile and is able to put some pressure on her leg to walk around. We have been giving her lots of love and attention each day. She’s eats and drinks very well and has a few new toys waiting for her once she fully recovers. – Paul”

I have to say that Paul was good on his word and donated $600 yesterday. At a time, when we are on a temporary hold from helping new cases, this donation will absolutely make a difference. – diana
