Cruz came into our care needing some immediate medical attention. We don’t know exactly how he was injured, but unfortunately, somehow, Cruz broke his hind right leg as well as his tail. He required surgical intervention to repair his leg as well as a tail amputation. Even through all this Cruz’s spirits have remained high and he has continued to be a happy, loving, social boy. Cruz is super friendly, he loves to snuggle and rub on you and be right in your face, he is also very chatty and even though he won’t tell us what happened to him to cause his injuries, he is not afraid to chat about everything else, what time dinner is at, why his litter box hasn’t been scooped yet, why is he not getting more treats, and the list goes on. Cruz is still a young active cat, so being on “light duties” and “restricted access” has been a bit challenging for him, but he is doing his best to accept shorter play sessions, and not jumping on high surfaces or having crazy zoomies. Cruz also really wants to play with the other animals in his current foster home, so we believed that he has lived with other animals in his previous home, and would adjust to a new home with other pets. We can tell that Cruz is used to playing rough, however, and that he is used to being very active and playful, and even though you wouldn’t be able to tell that he’s recently had surgery, it is still extremely important that he continue to be kept calm and quiet for the remainder of his recovery period to make sure that he fully heals and has no complications that would extend his recovery time. Cruz still requires follow up Xrays to be fully cleared from his surgeries, so we are looking for a foster to adopt home that will continue to work on his recovery until he is fully healed and his adoption can be finalized. We are also looking for a home that has the current ability to keep him from jumping on high surfaces, climbing stairs, or playing to exuberantly with other animals in the home. If you think that Cruz may be a good fit for you and you want to find out more information about him, please reach out to the centre or put in one of our online applications.
