Our usual home for lost/found pet reports is the WSB Pets page, which marks its fourth anniversary next month as the only one-stop online bulletin board if you have lost or found a pet in this area. Today, we?re spotlighting a special ?found pet? report ? because it?s quite out of the ordinary.
Amy e-mailed us the photo of Arlene the one-eyed cat. Arlene is what Amy calls her, anyway. And she had two eyes when Amy found her in bad shape near 34th/Holden a month ago: ?I think she?d had a run-in with a raccoon or coyote.? Amy?s first note was pretty sparse, so we inquired: You?ve gotten some care for her, then? Yes, Amy replied:
She had her eye removed, along with some teeth, and flea and ear mite medicine. I didn?t post anything earlier because I wasn?t sure she would survive (she had a bad abscess in her jaw that had gone behind her eye, and she was having seizures for a while). There was also a week or two where she had fluid surrounding her heart and in her abdomen, but that?s all gone now. She?s still taking kidney medication and a diuretic. ? It did cost a lot but there was no way I could have just left her in the street, so I didn?t mind paying!
(And of course they checked for a chip; there was none.) Amy has grown to love Arlene and can keep her ? but says she felt she just had to post a ?found cat? notice because, ?I know if I lost my cat, I would want to know she was alive.? If you are, or know, this kitty?s (original) owner, you can e-mail Amy at amywms23@yahoo.com.
