Great News! SUBWAY, our miracle survivor tabby, is ready for a real home.
This poor tabby was run over by a subway in Queens at 3am on June 2.
Coincidentally, Harlan, husband of Last Hope cat coordinator Doreen, was the MTA supervisor on duty at that track shortly after SUBWAY was severely injured.
Harlan had power turned off, climbed onto the track, grabbed SUBWAY, & soon after found a plastic crate to use as a temporary cat carrier.
At 6am after his shift, Harlan rushed SUBWAY to the waiting animal ER in Suffolk.
The tabby’s eyes were damaged badly.
After stabilizing SUBWAY, the hospital staff had to determine whether this poor waif was tame or feral.
That fact would decide how to proceed to take care of SUBWAY’s pain.
Turns out SUBWAY is very friendly, and was making “biscuits” by his third day at the ER.
Two weeks ago, SUBWAY had surgery to remove his ruptured eye.. We planned to assess how much vision remained in his other eye after he settled in his cage.
Two days later at clinic our vet examined SUBWAY’s eye …all vision in his remaining eye seems good. Then SUBWAY spent quality time loose with Doreen. SUBWAY is super friendly…and negotiated open space with no problem.
Our Miracle Man spent at another week recovering at the Wantagh Cat Center and NOW will meet his public in pursuit of a safe, pampering, real home.
Meet SUBWAY, up close & purrsonal at our Cat Center. He will see you approaching him.
