A woman found a cat on the side of the road. He could barely stand and was hungry, thirsty and looked very sick. She took him to the city shelter to be euthanized and was told it would cost her $60.00, because she wasn't a city resident. Because she couldn't afford that, she called us.
At first glance, I did not think we would be able to save him and then I picked him up. Although he was an adult cat, there was nothing to him, he was skin over bone. When he looked at me though, I knew he was a fighter. I made an appointment with the Vet for later that day to have him tested for FIV/FELV and to have him checked for any injuries. Then I took him inside and fixed him some wet food with The Missing Link Feline Formula and gave him a penicillan shot. Boy was he hungry!
Dodger was negative for FIV/FELV and had a very bad URI. He had been starving for some time, as his body had eaten the muscle to survive. For the first two weeks, Dodger ate, slept and cried when you touched him, like every inch of his body ached. But, oh how he loved his wet food and The Missing Link, which he'd get before his daily sponge bath!
That first day, Dodger weighed in at 4.5 lbs. Six months later, he is a beautiful, healthy 12 lb. lover! He waits by the refrigerator every day and would eat The Missing Link right from the bag if we'd let him. Dodger and I believe that if it weren't for The Missing Link that he would have taken longer to heal and would not be as healthy as he is today. Thank you for such a great product! All shelters and rescues should be using it.
