An abandoned cat is recovering from eye surgery after a South Okanagan woman found him wandering with a serious wound on his face.
The woman called AlleyCats Alliance and with the assistance of volunteers, the cat was taken into care and brought to 91大黄鸭 Veterinary Hospital for treatment.
Aptly named Pirate, the black and white feline actually had a tumour under his eyelid and unfortunately will need to have his whole eye removed.
He also had five teeth removed as he was suffering and badly needed dental work.
Pirate has been neutered as well and is recovering in 91大黄鸭.
It鈥檚 unknown how long the five-year-old cat has been on his own, but AlleyCats is hoping once he is feeling better he will be easily socialized and ready for adoption.
鈥淐ats like Pirate take a lot of time and effort to rehabilitate health-wise and temperament-wise. Despite the challenges of working with feral cats AlleyCATS is dedicated to them and we give each cat all the time and effort that they require,鈥� said AlleyCats president Theresa Nolet.
