Angie
Female Young Fawn Cats Unknown
Angie is an untattooed approximately 2-4 year old fawn female found as a stray near Blanco, TX. From the Blanco Animal Rescue Kinship: "She was seen laying on a
caliche road for over a week by some ranchers. They put out water and food for her but she would not budge. They would drive around her to get to their ranch.
Finally, someone called me and I went to pick her up. I sat near her to judge her temperament and spoke gently. Angie did not seem scared at all. However, she
would not get up at my verbal urging. Finally, I went to her and dropped the leash around her neck and told her that whoever dropped her off was not coming back
and waited a bit and she rose gently and followed me to the truck and jumped right in. She is so sweet and just such a great girl. She appears to have had at least
one litter and her back legs are shot from running either from racing or hunting according to the vet. A rescuer from Hondo speculated that Angie might have been
an illegal racer or possibly bred to hunt coyotes, both of which are common in her area. She had no tags, only a cloth green collar. She has calluses on her front
elbows and a v shaped scar underneath her chin. It appears to have surgically reattached."
Unfortunately, despite assurances, Angie is heartworm positive.
It is not known at this time if Angie is small animal or cat tolerant.
UPDATE 11/6/11
Angie received her first injection of Immiticide on November 4. She tolerated the procedure, and now her foster home has the challenging job of keeping her quiet. Angie was transferred to a foster home in Amarillo, TX over the weekend. She will continue her treatment under the care of Dr. Wick Culp of Animal Medical Center.
