During a busy day at a Starbucks drive-thru in California, staff members observed something strange: a scared cat that was too frail to move and was laying by the curb. The staff immediately called a local animal rescuer out of concern for the cat’s safety, and the rescuer contacted David Loop, president of Sierra Pacific Furbabies. The cat was in a tragic state when David got there. She was obviously in dire need of assistance because she was weak, ill, and concealing her face in the curb.
The Rescue Operation Starts
The terrified cat, who was subsequently given the name Zoey, was carefully moved into a carrier by David. When he looked more closely, he saw that she was wearing a collar, which indicated that she had probably had a home at one time. A microchip was found during a scan, but attempts to find her owners were unsuccessful. Although Zoey’s past was unknown, David was committed to providing her with the care she required. When he took her to the veterinarian, they found that she had an autoimmune illness that was targeting her red blood cells.
Defending Her Life
Zoey was in critical condition. To survive, she needed immunosuppressive drugs and three blood transfusions. As Zoey began to feel better, her demeanor changed despite her initial fear and aggressive behavior, which even made veterinarians think she might be rabid. She showed her tender, affectionate side and started to trust her rescuers. David made sure Zoey had every opportunity to survive because he had grown emotionally invested in her rehabilitation.
