Every one of those lives is unique yet often a little hairy good friend climbs up right into our hearts. Among those feline pals is called Jacket Bagel.
When we initially satisfied Jacket Bagel it rapidly came to be clear that her back 2 paws remained in severe requirement of healthcare. Jacket Bagel’s paws were extremely contaminated and also the discomfort rapidly came to be frustrating for her vulnerable body. Our veterinarians understood we required to act rapidly. APA! lept right into activity and also after a dual amputation, Jacket Bagel wasn’t doing well in the shelter. She stopped eating, drinking and couldn’t seem to relax. We reached out to one of our most committed fosters, Allie Wassel, to help Jersey Bagel transition to a home so she could have the best chance at recovery.
Check out what Allie had to say about her new roommate, Jersey Bagel!
What has been your favorite moment with Jersey Bagel?
When I brought her home, she stretched out on all her blankets and just started purring. She was so clearly happy to be out of the shelter and it was heartwarming to see her so relaxed and comfortable.
Why do you love fostering with APA!?
I remember exactly where I was when I decided to foster her. I was on a plane, and I got a text from a care team member that we were starting to have quality of life talks about Jersey Bagel. Our vets had fixed her feetsies, but she wouldn’t eat in the shelter, had not been healing and was absolutely miserable. I frantically reached out that I would foster her as soon as I got home. When I brought her home she immediately started eating and relaxed, she just hated the sanctuary THAT much. It’s for cats like Jersey Bagel that fostering makes all the difference.

What do you think would have happened to Jersey Bagel without APA!’s help?
Jersey Bagel is FeLV positive (Feline Leukemia Virus), ringworm positive and also a double amputee. Therefore, she needed some pretty intense wound care. I padded my entire guest bathroom with blankets, yoga mats and made a special litter box for her “nubs” while they healed. I imagine many other shelters would have euthanized her for simply being FeLV+ before even considering other complications she came with.
(FeLV or Feline Leukemia Virus is often a death sentence in traditional shelters despite cats with FeLV being able to live for many happy years)
How do monthly donations from members aid animals like Jacket Bagel have a second opportunity to thrive?
Your monthly donations make sure that our clinic has the funds to do special surgeries for kitties like Jersey, and all the follow-up medications she was on for weeks. We spent weeks on different medications trying to get her paws better before they needed to make the unfortunate call to amputate both her back paws. But I am happy to claim that after two months of healing, both her nubbins look great and she is a perfect kitty!
Jacket Bagel is currently available for adoption! If you have the space in your house for this wild girl, please reach out!
