🐾💛 Pre-Adoption Spotlight: Meet Avery! 💛🐾
Sometimes the sweetest cats have the hardest stories... and Avery is one of them. 💔
This handsome 4-year-old brown tabby first came into our care after being found crying in pain, hiding under a neighbour's deck with a severe tail injury and unable to walk properly. Thanks to the kindness of the people who refused to leave him behind, Avery finally got the help he so desperately needed. 💜
Since then, we've learned that Avery's injuries were more extensive than anyone hoped. Along with infected bite wounds to his tail and a high fever, X-rays revealed that he has a broken hip. Avery will require Femoral Head Ostectomy (FHO) surgery, which is tentatively scheduled for August 28, 2026.
Despite everything he's been through, Avery has never stopped showing us what a wonderful boy he is. 🥹

Avery is currently focused on healing, but we're already looking ahead to finding the loving forever family he deserves once he's recovered from surgery and completed his veterinary care.
If you're looking for a gentle, loving companion and don't mind waiting just a little longer for this amazing boy, Avery may be your perfect match. 💛
Keep an eye on our page for updates on his recovery. We can't wait to see this resilient boy leave his painful past behind and begin the happy new chapter he's always deserved. 🐾🏡
