Tails Of Success!
Sunny
"We got Sunny from a rescue group when he was approximately six months. It was obvious right away that he had been abused.
He was extremely fearful, didn't know his name, and hid all the time. He was spooked by our other cats even though we kept him separated for a few weeks.
He was very skinny and acted afraid during meal times. He did not like to be touched or held. He pooped outside the litter box a lot.
We talked about this during his regular vet checkups, but he didn't seem to improve. We were so worried about his stress level being so high all the time.
Finally, our vet suggested a behavior vet that she knew. We made appointment with Dr. C in person so she could examine and evaluate him."
