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 Miami 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!
You can see Houdini 24 hours a day on our live
cameras he is house 2, Room 1.
