Sir Thomas “Tommy” Trueheart attracted international prominence three years ago for his efforts to end animal cruelty. But unfortunately, the kitten has lived as a stray in the California desert for some time.
Despite being homeless, he was occasionally fed by generous strangers, but the worst was yet to come. Tommy came one day with severe burns from an acid attack.
The poison had damaged his eyes and a large chunk of his skull. He required aid, and generous people cared for the poor homeless man. Tommy was taken to the vet after speaking with a specialist, but the condition did not appear to improve.
The kitten’s first doctor was not sympathetic to his plight. Instead, he decided that death was the only choice after analyzing the degree of the boy’s wounds and finding that he was IVF+. Fortunately, his caregivers warned Milo’s Sanctuary that something was wrong. Tommy had the best chance of surviving horrible cruelty since he was transported quickly to his experienced veterinary experts.
Tommy was in and out of critical care for over three months and required pain relievers and antibiotics. In addition, he had surgery and skin grafts to repair the damage caused by the acid.
Her IVF+ status further complicated her recovery since her compromised immune system necessitated frequent monitoring as she recovered. Unfortunately, he lost one of his eyes. But, despite his wounds leaving lasting scars, this tiny boy would never return to the streets.
Tommy remained in the Milo Sanctuary and Lifetime Care care in his adopted home. During his lengthy recovery, he met Daisy, a cat who became his companion. Tommy’s story served as an example and a way of generating funds to help other animals that, like him, suffer at the hands of the hazards and violence that exist on the streets on occasion.
Despite Tommy’s immense ability for love and forgiveness, coping with IVF is a complex process.
Michele, the adoptive mother of this stubborn cat, was continually on the lookout for any oddities that may help him because his immune system was compromised.
