Strudel is a 5 year old Mix-Breed in Fort Lauderdale, FL, who needs $223 for Soft Tissue Injury.

For at least four years, Strudel survived the harsh realities of outdoor life as part of a feral cat colony. She weathered bitter winters, fought for food, and lived with no guarantee of safety. When Operation Liberation trapped her for spay surgery, the plan was simple: spay and return.

But Strudel had other plans.

To everyone’s surprise, this quiet, resilient girl turned out to be friendly — not just tolerant, but affectionate. It became clear she wasn’t just surviving outside — she had been waiting for a second chance. Operation Liberation made the easy decision to bring her into foster care, where she quickly began to thrive.

Recently, Strudel began to limp, and the condition worsened throughout the day. Concerned for her well-being, Operation Liberation rushed her to the emergency vet. After a thorough exam, the veterinary team diagnosed a soft tissue injury. She was sent home with pain medication and anti-inflammatories, and strict instructions for rest and monitoring.

Strudel’s prognosis is good, but her care has already come at a cost and as a volunteer-run rescue, Operation Liberation relies entirely on community support to cover emergency expenses. Please consider donating to help give Strudel the future she deserves - safe and loved.
