CAT OF THE WEEK: IZZY (FCID# 01/15/2025-76)
Cat of the Week!!! Izzy (FCID# 01/15/2024-76)
Lap Cat Alert!! Super sweet and friendly Izzy was a neighborhood stray. She looks very happy to be in the care of Forgotten Cats and enjoyed playing with her new feline friends in one of our big cat rooms. Also, Izzy is happy to snuggle up on your lap, soaking in pets and affection.
She is estimated to be 8-10 years old. Izzy’s story: Izzy was found on the streets of Delco looking like she was desperate for our help. Drooling from her mouth, we knew she needed dental care. The way her skin hangs loose around her lower jaw the vet could tell she had sustained a traumatic mouth/jaw wound at some point.
Even still, Izzy was taking the BIGGEST mouthfuls of food once she was safely at our shelter. She was absolutely starving. The neighbors suspect Izzy was a kitten by the size of her thin frame. Sadly, she was just malnourished.
Izzy had dental surgery upon intake and is feeling SO much better. No more drool! A spring in her step! Upon intake, Izzy’s skin was covered in thick scabs and sores. Her fur was riddled with lice and fleas. After treatment she’s feeling and looking SO much better, but she is now on a prescription diet food to keep the remaining itch at bay.
Izzy is now playing with her new foster family. This outgoing and gentle kitty is great with other cats and children. She takes NO time to warm up. All she needs is an amazing family who will never let her suffer like she has on the streets. No kitty deserves that.
