When a neighbor one mile away, who has dogs that absolutely despise cats calls and tells you that this cat has been sitting on his porch for four days trying to get inside and that he has asked all the other neighbors if they recognize her; when he has called all local rescues and shelters INCLUDING Pasco Animal Services and is told, "no we cannot help/take her," what exactly are we to do other than take her - and immediately bring her to our vet. She is in very rough shape. We named her Hope. Dr. Campos guestimates her to be 14 years old. She is emaciated weighing 4.7 lbs. She is, for all intents and purposes, blind in one eye. She was severely dehydrated and has no teeth. She does have a tipped ear, so she has been spayed at one point. At one point, someone cared about her. How did she end up on this guy's porch - seemingly from out of nowhere? How long has she been out there, all alone - suffering, starving? And yet, she is THE sweetest old girl.
Thankfully, Hope is negative for FIV/FeLv/HW. We are waiting the results of a senior profile including f***l and T-4 (there's a good chance she is hyperthyroid). This sweet girl was put thru a lot at the vet and yet she remained sweet. We have her set up in a double condo on he back porch with fans. Hope's bill today was $406 - a shock to our bank account. No matter what, Hope will have a home with us for however long she needs.
