Frankie's transformation story, part 2

Frankie was gradually adjusting to the daily routine of changing his bandages, and his wound was finally starting to heal. During this time, our friendship began to blossom. Frankie grew comfortable enough to roam freely in the garage where we kept his kennel. One day, he even touched my face with his nose! I couldn’t help but start falling in love with this sweet feline boy.
A Creative Solution
Since Frankie never allowed us to clip his claws, I had to come up with a creative solution to prevent him from scratching his wound. Because his injury was near his neck, using a cone wasn’t an option. After some trial and error, I invented a contraption that worked perfectly. This allowed us to skip the daily bandages, giving the wound a chance to breathe while still treating it with manuka honey and silver spray.
Around this time, Frankie stopped needing his kennel and moved to a cozy bedding on the floor. He even started letting us pet him, though he still growled occasionally. He gained a few pounds, and his coat became shiny and healthy. Frankie welcomed everyone who visited “his” garage, including my female indoor cat. Unfortunately, he never warmed up to my little chihuahua, so I have to keep them in separate rooms.
Frankie's Past Unveiled
One day, I received a call from a woman who said she knew Frankie before we rescued him. She explained that his previous owner had passed away, leaving Frankie to fend for himself on the streets. Every day, he would cross a dangerous road to reach a cat colony where neighbors regularly fed the animals. Then, he disappeared for a while. When he returned, he had a nasty wound on his back. He became increasingly distant and wouldn’t let anyone near him. And that was when we met him.
Hoping for a Healthy and Happy Future
Today, Frankie is a healthy, 15-pound sweetheart. Thanks to Dr. Kim, his wound was stitched up, and soon it will be hard to even spot the scar.
I would love to find a forever home for Frankie because he is such a wonderful, laid-back cat. He is confident, calm, and loves sprinting through the house in the early morning and late afternoon. His favorite napping spot is on top of the armchair. While he gazes longingly out the windows, he doesn’t seem eager to venture outside.
And that is Frankie's story. Please contact us to adopt Frankie.
