The taxi was this afternoon. When we arrived at the shelter the Operations Manager brought the carrier up from the building's Isolation room in the basement. The carrier held David, a sweet orange tabby who didn't look happy to be there.
The shelter prioritizes cats with special needs, and our passenger today certainly qualified. He had recently arrived from another location after his front leg had been amputated. Today's visit was the first one with the shelter's partner vet, who would do a physical exam, take out the staples from the surgery, and put in a microchip.
This is our second time ferrying a cat to this vet. Both the front desk and the medical staff are friendly and professional. After an initial consultation in the examination room the technician took David into the treatment area. Fifteen minutes later he was back, and happy to return to his carrier. The trip back to the shelter was uneventful.
When David gets a clean bill of health he will get to go to a foster house, and (fingers crossed) eventually to a forever home. He deserves it.

You've done your good deed for the day!
ReplyDeleteThanks :-)
DeleteOh this brings tears to my eyes. I do hope David gets his forever home soon. He reminds me of my grand-cat, Ed. I love orange tabbies but then again I love all cats. 🐈⬛ 🐈
ReplyDeleteOur first cat was an orange tabby, and later we had an orange and white. I haven't met a cat I didn't like.
DeleteSo good of you to do this Kathy -Christine cmlk79.blogspot.com
ReplyDeletethank you for doing this
ReplyDeleteIt was fun.
DeleteLooks like our Tigger.. hope his healing goes well and he gets a furever home!
ReplyDeleteThere are a lot of orange tabbies out there.
DeleteWhat a pretty cat. I hope David finds his forever home soon.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure someone will want to help him get back to normal.
DeleteSuch a sad story about David . Volunteers like you are so valuable and needed. I applaud you for your services in the meantime and hope that David finds a good home. My sister in law is a foster volunteer for cats and she now owns two that she couldn't resist keeping.
ReplyDeleteWe only have room for one litter box, so that pretty much limits us to one cat.
DeleteGood job!
ReplyDeleteGracias.
DeletePoor little guy, I hope he finds a good home.
ReplyDeleteMe too. This shelter seems to have a good track record of getting cats into at least foster homes.
DeleteDefinitely hope David gets a great home soon and kudos to you for helping out the furbies.
ReplyDeleteIf I have time in my schedule it's an easy thing to do.
DeleteThank you, Kathy. God bless.
ReplyDeletePoor guy but cats do well after an amputation. Sounds like a great shelter!
ReplyDeleteI've seen videos of tripod cats getting around like their four-legged counterparts.
DeleteGod bless you for this kind gesture my friend!
ReplyDeleteDavid looks sad indeed
i hope and pray that he is recovered soon and comes to stay with you both hopefully !
We can only have one cat at a time, but I have seen photos of David enjoying his new foster home
