Abused Cat Loses Teeth, Deserves Better

Mallory is a 2-year-old female tabby available for adoption from Love-A-Stray.

Mallory suffered some abuse-related injuries before she came to Love-A-Stray, and she had to have lots of dental work done including a few tooth extractions. Volunteer Marge Spaeth said the injuries look like Mallory had been kicked in the face repeatedly.

With loving care from the veterinary staff and Love-A-Stray volunteers, Mallory has recovered fully. She's healthy, fixed and up-to-date on her shots. In spite of what had been done to her, she's not scared of people or skittish, and is friendly and affectionate.

If you're interested in Mallory, or would like to see other cats and kittens available for adoption, contact Love-A-Stray through its website. You can also donate money to help cover the costs of spaying/neutering cats, and health care like that given to Mallory.
