Adopt a Domestic Short Hair (short coat)
Sassy the Cat needs a home
Please contact Karly for more information about this pet.
Sassy is a lovely cat who recently went through some tough times. She was abandoned and lived outside, and was shot in the back (bullet exited her chest) reportedly for chasing a squirrel and messing up a woman's mulch. The wound became infected and she needed surgery to debride the dead tissue and repair the gunshot wound. Fortunately, some very kind people found her and not only paid her vet bills, but took care of her during the first few critical days. Now, her sutures are out and it appears to be healing up well, but we are as of yet unsure how much function she will regain in her right front leg as the muscle and nerves were damaged. Currently she can put some weight on it, but not all, and has difficulty on hard floors (she slips) and with climbing.
Despite all this, she remains sweet as pie. She loves to be petted and scratched and seems happiest hanging out with people. She is wary of dogs, but would likely get used to polite dogs in time. She has lived with other cats and seems to prefer males but would likely get along with friendly females given proper introductions. She was spayed previously and she had her rabies vaccine and distemper updated. She's a very tidy cat with excellent litterbox manners.
