At
the Humane Society of Tampa Bay we see a lot of dogs and cats that
have had a tough time prior to finding a safe haven at our shelter.
“Lucky” is one of those cats. He was brought to us by a concerned
member of the community who found him and wanted to help. “Lucky”
was completely covered in glue. His fur was matted directly to his
skin and since carefully trying to remove the glue was unsuccessful
the decision was made to shave all of the hair off of his body.
The glue was so thick that a razor blade was the only thing that
worked. In addition to losing his fur, “Lucky” had also lost his
whiskers which is very debilitating for a cat. He was a champion
throughout the entire ordeal and let each exam technician work on
him without so much as a whimper. “Lucky” seemed to know they were
helping even though the process took a very long time and they had
to shave so close that there were some spots on his body that started
bleeding. He was placed in a foster home with five other cats that
took him under their wings. His new feline friends sensed right
away that he needed help and proceeded to lick him until every tiny
bit of glue was removed from his body. He has definitely earned
the name “Lucky” for surviving such a traumatizing, painful ordeal
and even though someone obviously covered him in glue intentionally
he still has complete faith in humans. He loves to cuddle and one
of his favorite places to sleep is on his foster mom’s lap.
Here are our coalition members. These organizations
dedicated to animal rescue and adoption. Some specialize in specific
