Bongo, our three-legged kitty, found a new family to love on Wednesday! Here is a little history of how he came to TCHS:
Back in June, members of our community found a scared little kitten in the middle of a busy street, and they knew just the place to bring him. When they brought him to TCHS, our animal-care staff noticed there was something wrong with his front, right leg. He was seen by a veterinarian and started on pain medication. Then began the process of attempting to rehabilitate his leg. Bongo spent almost two months in foster care. He slowly started to come out of his shell and became best buddies with two big dogs and the other cats. After not responding to his treatments, amputation became the best option for him. Once his leg was amputated and healed, Bongo was put up for adoption. It was a bittersweet moment for staff to see him go, but that happens in our work. We wish him well on his next adventure and know everything invested in his care was worth it! Also, a big thank you to Bongo’s new family from Sartell for inviting him into their home and hearts!

Bongo now enjoys the loving care of his new family.
