Whoever says "A cat is better off losing its claws than its home," doesn't realize many cats lose both. Meet Stormy: Stormy came into Hamilton Animal Control (Guelph, ON, Canada) as a stray. Stormy has been neutered and declawed (all four paws), so he certainly belonged to someone, but nobody came looking for him at the shelter. Stormy was severely matted and infested with fleas. His skin was red and raw from scratching. He seemed to be experiencing pain in his eyes. He was squinting, and there was an obvious ulcer in one eye. Staff at the shelter started him on eye medication to try to help. Once Stormy’s stray time was done, we were happy to get him out of the shelter and straight to the vet to get a diagnoses. Turns out, Stormy has a serious issue with his eyes called entropion and a second issue called corneal sequestrum. Dr. Fleming at Guelph Animal Hospital volunteered to do the surgery Stormy required for his eyes, (how generous!) and this video is him at the clinic just after his surgery. While he was under anesthetic, Stormy had his teeth cleaned (and one rotten tooth removed), and a cyst was removed from his leg. Once he's had some follow up appointments to be sure everything is healed, Stormy will be available for adoption.
