In loving memory of Chance 🌈
Just after supper on March 17th, I received a phone call from my Mom: "One of the colony cats is badly injured, can you help?!"
It's difficult to brace yourself for these types of situations, and honestly, nothing could have ever prepared me for what I would witness that evening.
I spent 5 hours on my hands and knees in the dirt, water, snow, and mud trying to catch Chance. From the front porch, to the back porch, hiding under my trailer, to scooting under my parents car.. And eventually dashing across the road, where I was able to grab him before he hid under a neighbours porch. I cannot put into words HOW INCREDIBLY STRONG this cat was, because..
Our Emergency vet visit to Valleyfield allowed me to find out that Chance:
- Was attacked and bitten in the neck by a large dog.
- Had three broken legs (that he had prior to the attack/been suffering with for a long time.)
- All 4 paws and legs were infected by deep wounds that were both bloody and full of pus.
- He had gaping bloody infected sores and welts all over his stomach, face/head, back, and tail.
By the vets recommendation, Chance was humanely euthanized to finally bring him peace from all of his horrendous wounds. I cannot fathom the amount of pain and suffering this cat went through, and the visual of him running across the road from me with three broken legs will truly haunt me until the day I die.
Through hysterics and tears, I asked the vet if I could take photos of his wounds during assessment while Chance was sedated. One day, when I can talk about Chance and what happened to him without losing it, I hope to bring these photos to City Council. Reading a synopsis of suffering is one thing, but to see it is to truly understand what happens to stray and feral cats without help and human intervention.
I want to send the biggest thank you in the world to my favourite fabric designer and artist, Rachel, for donating her time and talents to create this sweet portrait of Chance. I created stickers with this portrait to keep his memory and story alive, and to raise funds for other stray and feral cats in the same situation as him.
To the sweetest boy who had visited my parents home frequently since 2023.. Chance, I hope you are resting easy, sweet boy. You are so missed, but most importantly, I am so happy you are no longer in pain. 🌈
