I found this little cutie on the verge of death on June 13, 2024 desperately scrounging for food in a small pothole in the middle of the HEB driveway. It was a miracle she had not been run over. She was so underweight that her ribs and hip bones were jutting out and seemed so weak and lethargic that I thought she would have to be euthanized. Enters the amazing staff at Greenway Animal Clinic to the rescue. That poor little girl weighed a ridiculously low 3.9 lbs and so seriously dehydrated that not even a bit of blood could be drawn for a combo test. After 3 hours of subcutaneous fluid, a small amount of blood to do a combo test was finally able to be drawn and the little girl she tested NEGATIVE FOR FIV/FeLV. The text day bloodwork looked normal and the little girl was treated for intestinal parasites with Albon. She got the name “Shrimpie” because she loves to sleep in a half curve like a 🍤. She took on quickly to the comfort of a soft bed, yummy kibble and has become a pâté snob while regaining her health and strength at the clinic. Shrimpie has now been at the vet clinic for 1.5 month and is a happy 8-lb kitty who is in desperate search of a lap to call her own. She is FULLY VACCINATED, SPAYED, MICROCHIPPED, on flea preventative and currently on Clavamox for chin acne. She is about 2 YEARS OLD and wants to spend her 8 remaining lives indoors with a loving & responsible human to call her own. Based on the terrible predicament she found herself in. Shrimpie clearly does not have any survival skills and it is imperative that she be an INDOOR CAT ONLY. She is a tame and a tad shy at first until she gets to know you better. She has not been tested with dogs, but given her timid natures she would be better in a home with no dogs, which is why I cannot take her in or foster her as my Cerberus would hurt her.
If you would like to pledge $$ to help get sweet little Shrimpie in a reputable rescue, or if you are rescued can take her in or a caring person willing to foster or adopt this darling little girl, please email [email protected]. Please share far and wide, so Shrimpie can live in a home environment and continue to thrive now that she is a healthy cat. Thank you!
