A True Treasure

treasure is being treated for several injuries associated with her abandonment..

Winter kicked off early and with a bang, bringing frigid temperatures and tons of snow. That placed many animals in jeopardy and in need of rescue. One of the sweetest cats we have ever rescued in our long history is tiny Treasure. She was found frozen on a country road in early December and a kind Samaritan took her home and contacted RCR for help.

It didn’t take long before the poor little girl’s ears fell off and we soon discovered that poor Treasure not only suffered from frostbite but also a severe tail wound that required full amputation but also has a condition known as luxating patella (dislocated kneecap). It is believed that poor Treasure suffered some significant trauma prior to rescue. She’s a trooper, though and an incredibly affectionate and grateful soul.

Treasure was evaluated by a rehabilitation vet at the Veterinary Mobility Centre who determined that our little gal is healing well from previous injuries. Surgery has not been ruled out but for now she is being treated with a joint supplement and an exercise plan. We hope she can avoid more surgery in the future.

Thankfully, this sweet little girl is in a loving foster home and thriving. She will be starting some rehabilitation therapy for her knee and we know her forever family is out there when she is ready!
