| Veronica was found in Washington, DC, with very serious burns covering her legs and back end. We will never know what terrible injury befell her, but she healed very well. She loves to run around, be petted, and purr. Her x-rays show bones that were broken and healed, so she seems to have had a very bad time before she was rescued -- but she is super friendly and well adjusted, a typical happy youngster. She especially loves to play tag with other young cats, and she always wins! She runs and jumps and climbs constantly, her past injuries are no impediment to having fun, fun, fun! She has a cute (and sometimes goofy!) personality, and is a very beautiful cat, although she lost the end of her tail due to the burn damage – it simply sloughed off. There is no fur on the pink tippy-tip! It makes for a very cute little tail! Veronica would be a wonderful addition to any family who can be sensitive to the fact that she is a burn survivor. Handle her back legs carefully, and remind the vet to do so during exams. Since the fur grew back completely over the burn areas, it’s easy to forget that they are very sensitive. But she still loves to be held to your chest, and be loved! Veronica is approximately two years old, white with one little gray spot on her head. She is negative for FIV/FeLV, is spayed and vaccinated. |
