A cat that was at risk of euthanasia now has a new lease on life, as Moose Jaw’s SCRAPS program provided a vital amputation.
A “new friend” has recently found their way into the loving arms of the SCRAPS program. This orange and white tabby named Boh came into the SCRAPS program during a difficult time for a lot of rescues. When a lot of Rescues all over Canada were turning away cats and no one would take him, SCRAPS was contacted and decided to get involved.
Although Boh is not a feral cat, due to Boh’s unique position, SCRAPS decided to step in and help. Boh lived with a leg fracture for an unknown amount of time, but it was long enough to cause lasting damage to his joints. His leg was amputated as soon as SCRAPS could get him into a vet. The SCRAPS program was hoping to save Boh’s leg, but unfortunately due to the position of the fracture and the length of time the cat suffered the injury, that was impossible.
Boh has been described by many volunteers as a gentleman. He is an extremely gentle and sweet cat that is searching for his forever home. He isn’t pushy and would be a perfect match for a person that can cater to his special need.
Boh is available for adoption through SCRAPS adoption program at the same cost as the feral cats.
"He is a special boy. I think Boh is just a happy guy that has been given the opportunity to carry on being a beautiful cat. He will make a wonderful companion to somebody,” says Anne Marciszyn, President of the SCRAPS program.
Unfortunately, this amputation for Boh has cost the SCRAPS program quite a bit of money. SCRAPS is looking for generous donors that are looking for a way to give back to their communities to help pay for the accumulated expenses associated with the amputation. All proceeds raised will go towards Boh’s vet bill, and once that is paid the remaining funds will go to aiding the other cats in the program.
"We are always so grateful to our community. They are very supportive of everything we do for all the many years that we have worked with these cats,” says Marciszyn.
The Band City Stray Cat Rescue and Protection Society Inc. is a non-profit organization that began in 2011 with a mission to reduce the at-large feral cat population in a humane way and stabilize their overpopulation.
