Cheddar was rescued from my mom’s front stoop. He kept coming back and crying for food/water (caught on package cameras at front step) and one day came back with his tail ripped off, so she trapped him to rescue him and now homes him with her two other animals, two small dogs (who now also love Cheddar dearly). Cheddar had his tail ripped off about a month ago (imaging seen on our camera footage provided on his images). We are unsure if it was a cat or another animal, but the tail was ripped off close to where the nerves sit, requiring it to be a much more involved procedure of needing the entire tail cut off instead of just a simple amputation. He will be being seen at Animal Medical of New City. Cheddar is special because he was born as a street cat, but kept coming back to our front stoop every night, spending many hours crying out for help. Now that he’s been saved, he is a loving baby (only about 4-6 weeks old), who loves his two newly acquired brothers (two dogs) and is accepting his new loving home happily. This was a sudden emergency resulting in an unexpected 2.5k need for amputation of the tail as a result of its proximity to his nerves requiring a special vet and procedure. It was unexpected because cheddar is a street rescue that was not an anticipated pet as he was saved.
