Dear all,
Please take a moment to read this little story.
My wife and I have made friends with a little stray cat who lives in our neighborhood, we call her Whisper. Whisper used to visit us every morning and evening for some food and a cuddle and although she's extremely friendly we cannot take her in because we already have a cat.
Last week, as we went out for Sunday Mass, Whisper didn't come running as usual.. she was nowhere to be seen. Same thing in the evening. It seemed she had disappeared. Next morning, as we were getting ready to leave for work we saw little Whisper trying to reach us and I knew something was very wrong. She was walking as if suffering from shell shock, staggering and looking in extreme pain. I picked her up, and took of to San Frangisk animal care centre to see what was wrong.
Whisper had her tongue stapled to her bottom canine! The doctor said that someone had probably kicked her in the face causing the trauma. During the examination he could also feel an air-gun pellet under her skin on her front leg. Someone had also shot her earlier in life which caused her to lose one eye and her voice in the process. At least her leg wasn't affected so she can walk, run and jump normally.
We spent last week nursing her back to health and she's now as lively and as friendly as ever. Today we have taken her for surgery to get her eye stitched up to prevent infections, remove the pellet and neuter her.
We are looking for an adoptive home for little Whisper. She's been through a lot in her life (she's 2-3 years old) and I think it's time she found a loving home.
Please spread the word around and if anyone is interested please drop me a line.
Thanks
W
