Houdini is a very lucky boy and has a group of very wonderful angels to thank
for saving his life. He was a community cat in a colony that was managed by a
caretaker. He had been through TNR so was neutered and micro-chipped. One day,
Houdini was hit by a car and sustained serious injuries. Thanks to the micro-chip,
animal control was able to contact the small rescue in Miami that his colony is
affiliated with. Animal control gave them only a few hours to pick up Houdini or
they’d euthanize him. They got him out of animal control and immediately began to
raise the more than $2,000 necessary to cover the surgery he needed, which was
extensive. He had a broken back leg and a front leg so badly damaged that it
needed to be amputated. A BCR supporter from outside of TAmpa let us know about
Houdini and the wonderful people trying to help him. We helped cover his surgery and
offered him a forever home since, as an FeLV+ cat, Houdini would have had a hard
time finding a loving home. Our flying angel (who is a flight attendant) flew him to
North Carolina, where we picked him up. When he arrived at BCR he was still
recovering. Since then he has completely healed and, despite his painful past, is
one very loving kitty! He loves to be on his catio and manages to get himself into
positions that one would think couldn’t possibly be comfortable but don’t
seem to bother this lanky big boy. He is very playful and loves his daily lobby
adventures!
