Nine years as a stray cat. Before and after photographs
Photos: North Dublin Cat Rescue Ireland
This cat has been found and returned to her owners after nine years as a stray. There was a tearful reunion. I thought that the photographs were revealing. Some people think that domestic cats can live quite nicely on their own as strays. You can see how tough life has been for this cat whose name is Minnie. Her right ear is badly damaged. Part of it appears to be missing.
The North Dublin Cat Rescue Ireland posted a video on Facebook of the tearful reunion and said:
“Her ear was weeping so she wants to stay in the carrier as she was comfortable there. Minnie will be off to our vets first thing in the morning so paws crossed guys she will be okay. We will keep you all posted”.
Minnie will have to have her right ear amputated in the near future. She is now feeling a lot better. She’s been on a drip and the staff are looking after her and making her strong. They want to be in good shape before she goes under the anaesthetic to remove her ear.
Below is the video of the reunion has posted on Facebook.
