Ava's Story

Poor Ava was found in Sunnyvale, where the family who found her noticed that her abdomen was very swollen on one side.  We took her straight to the vet where the x-ray showed not only an abdominal hernia (some sort of trauma had caused her a tear in the muscle of the abdominal wall and her intestines were outside the wall), but there was a bullet lodged just above her spine!  So the poor cat had been shot (a real gun shot,  not a bb gun pellet) and sustained extensive bruising on her stomach that caused the hernia (she may have been kicked or hit hard in the stomach).  She had surgery to repair the hernia the next day, and is recovering well in her foster home, and is still as sweet as ever even after her horrible ordeal.  She has beautiful lynx point siamese markings and blue eyes, and needs an extremely loving, indoor home where she can live her life peacefully and happily.  She deserves it after all she has been through!   Please contribute to help cover the cost of Ava's surgery!
