He lost a tail, but he’s ready to embrace his new lease on life with a loving and compassionate family.
Alexander, a six-year-old grey and white domestic short hair cat, came to the Richmond Animal Shelter two weeks ago.
His life as a stray was a difficult one, according to BC SPCA staff, as he arrived with an injured tail, a broken toe and a body “overwhelmed by a flea infestation.” His tail was ultimately amputated.
Described as a “sweet and affectionate boy,” Alexander persisted through his recovery journey with “remarkable resilience.”
“He embraced his new lease on life with an inspiring blend of courage and optimism, quickly adapting to his altered physical state,” reads the adoption page.
Alexander enjoys making two-legged friends and loves human interaction.
Undeterred by his experiences on the streets, he dreams of “a cozy home where he can share his warmth, affection, and unwavering loyalty with a loving and compassionate family.”
If you think your home would be a good fit for Alexander, here are some ways to find out:
1.) Visit the shelter to meet this pet during adoption viewings Friday to Tuesday noon to 3pm, learn more about their ideal match, and apply to adopt in person; or
2.) Submit an online application at adopt.spca.bc.ca and staff will contact the first suitable adopter to set-up a visit! Kindly note that due to the high number of applications and the availability of walk-in adoptions an online applicant would have to be available to come in for a meet within 24 hrs.
