The pandemic sent everyone for a loop, but we never slowed down with our TNR efforts.
In March of 2021, a lady contacted us about an elderly kitty we had previously TNR'd. She said the kitty had been limping, but she wouldn't let anyone come near her. Off we went, where we "coaxed" the sad girl into a trap, and whisked her off to the vet. She had a massively infected leg, and the vet 1. wasn't sure how it happened (dog bite, perhaps?) and 2. wasn't sure if the kitty would live... One of our volunteers stepped up and took the kitty home for rest and recuperation. After several weeks of cage rest and antibiotics, the newly-named Hazel was healed and feeling pretty good! Dr. Verbrick at The Cat Clinic was amazed at the transformation. A few months later, Hazel had a much-needed dental where most of her teeth (that were left) were removed.
Hazel is probably about 15 now, and is still living with our volunteer. Although she has the run of the house, she does still like to hang out in the cage (that stays set up), because there's a heating pad under the cat bed. Here's hoping she has many more years left ♥
