Domestic Short Hair - Buff and white - Dustbunny - Medium
In late April of xxxx, I came across a cat in desperate need of more help than her family could provide for her. It is not common practice for me to take on an owned cat, but when clients of mine clearly love and adore their pet and yet know that they can no longer provide her with what she needs, I feel it is my duty to step in and offer my help. After all, I am on a unique position in that I can offer the medical care, both short and long term, that a cat may need AND also have the ways and means to find that cat a home once she is in tip-top shape. This situation was very emotional, as my client thought for certain she would have no other choice but to euthanize their girl, but instead of crying tears of sadness, the droplets flowing were of gratitude and happiness. Dustbunny was born in November of xxxx, and had been with the couple since since early adulthood, though she wasn't actually my patient until xxxx. Plagued by horrendous ear infections her entire life, she suffered an ear hematoma that required surgery when we first met, and continued issues that never fully resolved as I wasn't able to follow up as I would have liked. Fast forward to this April when she arrived with such intense facial itching that she traumatized herself to the point of ripping chunks of fur and flesh off of her face in hopes of relieving some of the discomfort her ears were causing her. Although I do not condone four-paw declaw procdures, it is a blessing that she actually had no rear claws in this case, as surely she would have ripped herself apart in the process. It took heavy-duty antibiotics, steroids, surgical ear flushing and infused medications to bring this girl the long-sought after relief she was seeking, but within 48 hours, she was feeling like a brand new cat! In fact, Dustbunny felt SOOO much better that she actually welcomed head rubs and chin tickles, whereas she used to shy away from even the gentlest of touches. As you can clearly see from her picture, the effects of her chronic infections have taken a toll on her pinnae, causing the ear flaps to crumple and scar down, making her appear as if she is actually missing the tops of them. Luckily she doesn't have any issues with deafness as the infection never spread to the middle ear. However, as one can imagine, although her ears are now not painful, she is painfully shy, and we are diligently working to assure her we are here to help heal her, inside and out. At the writing of her bio just 2 weeks after her arrival, she is already making progress, hanging out in cubbies but not hiding in them, and relaxing enough to enjoy snuggletime with the volunteers who are slow and patient with her one-on-one. She is used to living with other cats so rooming with Croquette and Venetia in our intake suite has been an absolute delight to her as well! I have no doubt in my mind that this darling little lass will overcome her timid nature and bloom into a beautiful, bold creature as she becomes more comfortable in her own skin... literally. And I am thrilled that in our care, she will have the chance to do so!
