Samantha (Sammy) is here! She came home on Saturday, and I must say she brought tears to my eyes. Just GORGEOUS! I will try and post pictures tommorow morning asap!
But she definately brought tears to my eyes because of her physical state. Her coat is dull, she is very thin, and is just in shock. You can still see the place on her leg where they hooked up the IV when they did the spay, her belly is still bare and her incision is clearly visible. I know it is not her foster moms fault, as soon as I told her I wanted her she pulled her from the shelter, but she had already been there for a while.
Her mental well being is what worries me most. I mean she goes from being in a home where she is tolerated, to say the least, to being in a loud and crowded shelter, gets put under and spayed where she wakes up in pain, to being in an indoor home with a bunch of other cats, being poked and prodded (vaccinated) to now being in my home where she is alone and terrified. She is just...sulking. Ceci was never like this, Samantha seems genuinely depressed and im worried about her.
Is this normal?
