Temecula, CA • Huey's Rescue

A Good Samaritan called the local animal control department because her neighbor’s cat was injured after reportedly being caught in a motor of a vehicle. One of the officers went out and confirmed that little Wheezie (renamed Phoebe by the foster parent) was, in fact, injured and that her owner was not able to afford any vet care Phoebe is currently 1 out of 7 foster pets (3 cats and 4 guinea pigs). She is extremely loving and playful and you can hear her little motor boat running from across the room. Even at the vets office she was purring up a storm. It'll be hard to give her up for adoption but she deserves a wonderful home where she is the star. My husband and I will continue to care for her until she's healthy Phoebe had a hard start to her life. She was stuck in a car/engine and barely made it out. Her eye was irreparably damaged, the tips of her ears were singed off, and she was left with a pretty severe limp. Through everything she has not complained once. She has been a non stop motor boat of purrs. She deserves the world. My husband took little Phoebe to the veterinarian for an initial exam while I was at work. We feared she needed the eye removed and she was also limping. Doctor Pavlock determined an enucleation would be necessary. The vet also took radiographs of her humerus and saw callus formation and displacement. The vet decided to take a wait and see approach on the leg, but the eye is urgent. Phoebe's initial visit was around $280 and her surgery will be another $900ish. We are a small rescue with several other medical babies. I have pledged $400 of my own money towards her care.
