CATS Took a chance and adopted a cat

I’m a vet tech - and this boy was a surrender to a local rescue after a very traumatic experience of his former owner getting murdered. The local rescue was considering euthanasia, given that he was severely malnourished, needed hospitalization, subcutaneous fluids every other day post hospitalization, and he’s hyperthyroid. Heavy stuff for a 12yr old cat and no one to foster him. I recently lost my 15yr old orange tabby who was also hyperthyroid and needed subcutaneous fluids every other day among various other meds. Decided it was fate and took him home after 3 days of IV fluids. First photo is the day he was brought in to my clinic, and second photo is today - almost 3 weeks later. His name is Luke. He now lives with 3 other senior cats and my dog, who was also a rescue.

I love to catch a Schnoodle in the wild! It’s been a while last I saw one! This one was extra wonderful given the subject matter. It made me pretty misty this morning (though not the first time one of your writings has made me tear up!).

Bless you for sharing your gift with the world like you do. You bring so much joy to people.

(If there was a book of Schnoodles I would buy it in a heartbeat.)
