Daisy Goes Home!

Daisy went to her forever home on Saturday.

She was a stray cat that was originally being fed by a lady but not being properly cared for. Back in February, I received a call about Daisy from Jean, an elderly lady who I have been helping TNR her cats around an apartment complex where she lives. Jean told me about the sad shape this kitty was in and asked me to come investigate. When I arrived, Daisy was just on the other side of the fence from the apartment complex. Two young girls (daughters of the lady who had been feeding her) were playing rather roughly with Daisy. I could see right away that this kitty was in bad physical shape. In addition to being pregnant, she had mastitis. Her tummy was so swollen from that, and her pregnancy, that the skin had split open. Horrible!

I took Daisy and rushed her to our rescue vet (Traveling Tails on Thousand Oaks). We started her on antibiotics and a few days later Daisy was spayed and also had a mastectomy. Over the following months she made a great recovery. I eventually brought her into my "shelter" (house) and fostered her until she was adopted at PetSmart on Saturday. She was one of the most inquisitive cats I have ever known. Nothing much escaped her attention.

Daisy has now gone to her forever home in Comfort, TX. Thanks, Shelley and David, for taking her into your heart and home!

David's Gravatar Daisy is getting settled in. She has her own room and is our little queen. She was a little nervous the first night, but opened up her huge heart to us the very next day. She is very inquisitive and loves to play and get in to stuff! We have a dog and a cat and they have been laying in front of the door to her room and talking. She is a
blessing to our family.
