Arrival Story: She was hanging around a house that my fiance was visiting several weeks before we took her in, she visited there for a few days then took off. She came back two weeks later and kept staying there. When Matthew (my fiance) saw her again and showed her to me she was emaciated and dehydrated, but very friendly and even good with the dog. Nobody has any missing cat posters or ads in the paper from around the area, so we think she may have been abandoned or left behind in a move. We took her in the night I saw her and we're working on getting her weight up.
Bio: Over the past few months a wonderful woman named Lory has been helping care for Velcro; without her I probably would have had to give her to a local no-kill rescue group. She is now on her second round of anti-biotics (the first seemed to help a lot) and has seen a vet for a general check-up; her FIV and Leukemia tests came out negative and she is finally at a healthy weight (almost 8 pounds). She also plays now (probably thanks to the antibiotics) and initiates play, and loves the toys (especially the catnip ones) Lory gave me for her, newspapers, and hanging out in any empty cardboard boxes (even though she has a kitty bed and a stuffed cat blanket in her kennel). Her vet stated that she probably has an upper-respiritory infection based on her symptoms and the mucus she sneezed, so she's on antibiotics again. Unfortunately I can't have her spayed or vaccinated until she's better or it could make her symptoms worse.

I've Been On Catster Since:
Velcro went in for another vet visit yesterday, and she said that Velcro's herpes status and lungs looked great (we think it's a combination of the antibiotics, her diet, lysine, and the fact that we removed two large stressors for her out of the house); her nose is bright pink and clear with almost no discharge at all around it, and since the stress level has gone down, she rarely sneezes. Her vet finally said that she'd be comfortable spaying Velcro; the problem before is that every vet I talked to wouldn't do it because they were afraid of fluid filling her lungs and her dying on the operating table, OR in the case of the shelter, they wouldn't even give me a reason, they just said "we don't fix sick cats", end of conversation. I'm keeping her on the Clavamox as recommended by her VCA vet, and now I'm in the process on working on getting her spayed.
