Sunny is a handsome ginger cat with a distinguished white patch of fur under his neck. One day he was going about his life in Wisconsin, enjoying the usual cat-like activities, when some twisted person shot him in the spine with a .22-caliber rifle. Luckily, he survived — and now he’s looking for his forever home. Interested parties should know that Sunny also comes with a swanky set of wheels to help him get around.
According to a report in the Price County Review, Sunny was originally discovered outside a house when his cries alerted the owner. Because he was dragging himself along, the person assumed the cat had been hit by a car. Calls were placed and Sunny was taken in by Catkins Animal Rescue.
It was then that medical examinations and X-rays shows the extent of his horrific injuries: The bloody patches on his back were caused by bullets, not a collision with a car.
After a course of laser therapy, Sunny was showing great signs of improvement. It was at this point someone suggested fitting him with a mobility cart to help him scoot around. Thanks to a donation from the Jim Fund charity, the rescue group secured wheels, and Sunny took to them with the proficiency of a car-racing veteran.
Right now, Sunny is relaxing at the Catkins Animal Rescue complex. But he’s definitely on the lookout for a new permanent home. He’s said to be a gentle boy who loves kids and dogs (although he does have a slight bladder issue and sometimes needs to wear a diaper).
