Tiger our most recent rescue
Uploaded: February 23, 2014
We rescued Tiger about 2 weeks ago and she is about 4 months old. We of course had her fixed but we noticed early on she was incontinent. Vet said who had her early beat her on the back and damaged her spinal cord. She will remain incontinent so we are working with her using plastic table cloth over the bed as well as pads. We also are trying her with kitty diapers so she can go around the entire house. She escaped to outside today stray dogs chased her up a tree where her diaper is now. She ran back in the house very quickly when we chased the dogs away. Just another day in paradise.

What a story, I would imagine the diapers would slow her down while the dogs were chasing her, Emile. I love how her diaper was left in the tree! Poor little thing, but you've captured her essence, Emile! #10983751frank w. degenhardt February 23, 2014
It is so sad that people can be so cruel to animals like this. It would be wonderful to see them get the same treatment. Tiger is such a beautiful cat and your story tugged at my heart when I read all that you folks were doing to give Tiger a home where love can be given and received. Precious. God Bless you my friend. #10983780Ellen Hodges February 23, 2014

A heartbreaking story - You are a real Saint Doc! #10983838Emile Abbott February 23, 2014
Just a man trying to make our world a better place while I can make a difference. Thank you all, Debbie, Frank, Ellen and Jeff. Back at you ASAP. #10983881Michelle Alton February 23, 2014
I think you must be one of the most kind-hearted humans on this earth. I love animals too, but I think I would not have the patience to deal with this one's issues. Very nice image, Emile; a heart-string tugger. #10983890Phyllis A. Houghton February 23, 2014
The diaper up in the tree got me laughing. Sorry Tiger, the experience was no laughing matter for you! You are in the best place possible now. Bless you Emile. #10984028John Connolly February 24, 2014
