Garfield: A Lover and a Fighter
Garfield’s curly whiskers may be his way of showing his appreciation. After surviving a tragic house fire, Garfield now resides in the loving care of the Animal Trustees of Austin so that he can receive hydrotherapy treatment for his burned paws. Don’t worry; we can assure you that no cat on the planet is more overjoyed to feel better. From the beginning of his stay, when most other cats would be understandably grumpy, this sweet boy made biscuits with his little raw feet! His story can be shared thanks to your generous donations.
This April, Missy McCullough, Animal Trustees’ Executive Director, received a phone call informing her that Garfield had been trapped in a house fire, where he sustained serious burns on his paws and needed immediate medical care. Tragically, his owners had lost everything in the fire and were not able to provide the emergency care he needed. Garfield spent one night in the hospital and then headed over to Animal Trustees of Austin where he has been ever since. Garfield will need about another week of treatment before he can go home to his family.
As donors, you are the heartbeat of this organization and our animal friends thank you a million times over for all that you do. Stories such as Garfield’s would not be possible without your donations to our Emergency Care Fund.
