No one knows how it happened, but Little Baby somehow got herself in a big heap of trouble. After disappearing for a week, this stray cat reappeared outside of the house of the nice lady who fed her. But her shocking condition proved that life is dangerous for our homeless friends — she had a large stick protruding out of her back just next to her spine. Luckily for this kitty, the lady who found her is a client at Hulen Hills. She gently scooped Little Baby up and brought her in. After Dr. Hotchkiss performed emergency surgery to extract the stick and repair the extensive damage, our staff offered Little Baby lots of TLC and socialization. We’re happy to report that Little Baby has recovered fully and now has a new, loving home free of sticks and other sharp items (we hope!).
This “ferrel” kitty was so sweet and gentle after the extraction of the stick. I could not even begin to imagine the pain she was in before her new family rushed her in in the initial condition she came home in, and then to turn out to be one of the sweetest patients to have the oppurtunity to care for. She really pulled on ALL of our heart strings and we are very pleased she made such an incredible recovery. She definately is a patient I will never forget!
