We had heard the area where Mongoose was picked up is a very bad area for cats. We feared he would be returned to field there (rtf- a practice where cats are returned outside where they were found- or any random outdoor location 😫). But, it's worse than we feared. During the exam yesterday with Dr Nancy, a pellet was found in his chest. Mongoose was shot at some point in his life. And, he was hit by a car last month. Unfortunately, we doubt this was an accident as residents there purposely try to harm the cats with their vehicles. His life has been sad and terrible. But, that life is something he'll never know again. ------------ Mongoose was taken to the ER in December with a kitty cold, after someone had seen him getting hit by a car. Poor Mongoose tumbled after being struck and then scurried into the woods. A kind woman who traps cats found him in the woods and got him help (Thank you Dottie!). He was later transferred to the county shelter. Mongoose had major infection and inflammation in his mouth, but no major damage from the car accident. All of his remaining teeth were removed. He also has stenotic nares, which means his nostril openings are smaller than the average cat. His ears are flattened to his head, most likely from untreated infections and cat fight wounds. He is FIV positive (weakened immune system but can live a long, healthy life just like nonFIV cats). We will share more on his visit and checkup with Dr Nancy soon ( Thank you Dr Nancy !)
