Meet the most perfect little feline, Dwayne. This 4-year-old orange tabby joined us back at the beginning of February after he was found as a stray by a good samaritan. Upon his intake exam, our team noticed that Dwayne needed more attention than the average pet.
Our Leeu Naylor Medical Building staff determined that Dwayne’s had a chronically dislocated hip and, in his case, this issue would be chronic. So, for his happiness and comfort, our team decided to amputate his back left leg. Dwayne’s recovery was more extensive than usual, and as a result, he struggled with eating regularly. But, our team noticed that Dwayne had a particular appetite for a specific flavor of treats. He made it clear that only the Temptations ‘Birthday’ flavor (beef & lobster) would do!
When we were nearing our last bag, our team reached out to the public for help. And, thanks to all the generous donations, Dwayne had received nearly 55 pounds of the treats! Now, Dwayne is feeling better, fully stocked on his favorite goodies, and ready to find his forever home.
Despite everything he’s been through, Dwayne has remained an incredibly loving feline that captured the hearts of our whole team. He adores cuddles and often had members of our staff hanging out in his recovery space for some quality snuggle time.
Dwayne may still be adjusting to life as a tripod-cat, but our team is confident he’ll be back to normal activity soon. He’s the perfect match for someone looking for a cuddly and resilient companion with a gourmet palate.
Come spend some time with Dwayne today and see if this sweet boy is the missing piece to your family. And don’t worry, he’ll be going home with plenty of his favorite treats to keep him happy!
