Soren was a stray who showed up on our door March 2014 badly injured. We scooped him up and took him to the vet and started this new journey. Soren was in really rough shape, literally half dead; but with a lot of effort, a lot of resources and a lot of time and love he got better. I did something I have never done before in order to save him. I fundraised for his veterinarian bills which were in excess of $1500. I begged on Facebook for donations to be called into his veterinarian. The generosity of complete strangers and friends that I had considered acquaintance-friends up until then surprised and overwhelmed me. Soren needed extensive medical care, his fang was broken in half and need to be pulled, he had an abscess on his arm from a bite and was suffering from a bad limp and infection because of it; he had scratches all over his body, scabs of dry blood, he had fleas and he had worms. He had acne that was badly infected. It took four rounds of antibiotics to eventually heal his wounds. Half of his paw pad was completely missing from the fight. He had a serious parasite infection. 5 months later he is all healed and enjoying his new home with us... Oh did I mention that this was in the middle of us selling our house in New Brunswick and moving to Ontario?!!! Of course Soren came and moved to Ontario with us. He is still adjusting to my other 2 cats so we keep him separate. My husband sleeps with him so he is never alone: he clearly has abandonment issues and was at one point someone pet before he was discarded. How anyone could do that I do not know, he is such a loving cat! We love him. He is "My $2000 lap cat" my husband likes to joke :) Worth it to.
