Consider adopting from Save-A-Pet
Submitted by Save-A-Pet
Meet Save-A-Pet's sweet Gentry! On a recent Sunday, a wonderful couple discovered a helpless, matted tabby in their driveway. Realizing he was unable to use his rear legs, nor able to see with his eyes crusted shut, the good Samaritans immediately rushed him to Save-A-Pet. So dire was his condition, his rescuers needed reassurance they were indeed a no-kill rescue. True to Save-A-Pet's mission, they were promised Gentry would receive a fighting chance, along with the best possible care.
Upon examination, a veterinarian determined that at least one of his back legs and his pelvis were broken, making surgery essential, with possible amputation. A second set of X-rays revealed that only his right rear leg needed amputation but his left could be saved. Additionally, Gentry's severe upper respiratory infection was addressed with medication.
After braving amputation, the little fighter is recovering in a temporary foster home with one of Save-A-Pet's dedicated volunteers. Despite the trauma he endured, this 6-year-old tabby has continually proven his sweetness and zest for life, purring and kneading his paws in gratitude. His appetite for both food and human attention is obvious. Gentry's foster parent also notes his meticulous grooming and immediate ability to navigate the world on three legs.
