Another stray in the trap this afternoon. I was grateful it was the orange cat because I had seen it pulling chunks of fur out of its body and I was concerned.
I ran it to the vet, tested negative and turns out to be a female. But she is rough shape. Most of her hair is gone, her blood is as thin as water, she has two erupted canines in her mouth and they estimate she is around 12 years old. They want to run bloodwork, but she has so many fleas- would rather get those under control first and see how she bounds back before spending money what right now isn’t available.
She is a sweet girl, she has all her claws, no chip of course. She was so hungry she couldn’t wait for me to get the food out of the can. She’s not skinny though suspect it is worms that are bloating her out.
I am calling her Charity because that is what it is going to take to see to her immediate needs- I’m just glad I don’t have to name her Hissy! She is extremely social.
She has a sweet, sweet face-
A long haired orange girl? She should be gorgeous, once she quits trying to scalp herself.
My goodness, she looks a wreck. That’ll change now, thanks to you.
