Sebastian's Second Chance - Emily S
The Page Animal Adoption Agency in Page, Arizona reached out to us at Foothills Animal Rescue at the end of July with a unique case. They had transferred in an approximately 2 year old cat with an abnormality affecting his front right leg. When Sebastian arrived, we noticed that his leg was bent and was neither functional or comfortable. This didn't stop him from being as sweet as can be, looking for pets and giving head bumps whenever he could. Our staff took to him immediately. Upon further examination by our partners at Arizona Animal Hospital, it was concluded that Sebastian's leg was going to have to be amputated to ensure the highest possible quality of life. Thankfully, a wonderful cat foster stepped up to care for Sebastian in her home before and after surgery to ensure the utmost comfort for our boy. Thanks to our donors, we were able to pay for his amputation that ended up being around $1200. We are thankful for our community who continues to show up for the animals in our care. Surgery was an incredible success and Sebastian had a loving foster home to return to where he could make a full recovery. Once everything was healed and checked out, it was now Sebastian's turn to return to our adoption facility and await his furever home. He did not let his predicament stop him from jumping on and off of cat trees or playing with the other cats in the room. After meeting a few potential adopters that hadn't worked out, in walked Olivia with her heart of gold. She took to Sebastian immediately, just like we all had, due to his charm and loving personality. It was a done deal! Olivia adopted Sebastian and took him home that day. Now he gets to live out the rest of his life with his furever person by his side. We could not do these types of procedures without our generous community and corporate sponsors. Thank you to AutoNation Subaru Scottsdale for your support of our mission.
