PCAWL Rescue Stories: Pearl
Little Pearl's tale was very nearly as short as her tail...and since she
is a Manx, that was short indeed. She was abandoned 
outside, probably
because she had diarrhea and couldn't help being messy. She didn't do
well in the Shelter and she was slated to die as soon as the 'hold'
period was up. (stray animals must be held for 5 days to give their
people a chance to find them).
The PCAWL volunteer just couldn't let
that happen, so Pearl went to the vet for a checkup and medication
instead of to die. She had nasty worms in addition to bacterial
problems, so a course of Panacur was prescribed. Pearl was soon MUCH
better and after a stay in quarantine, joined the other foster kitten,
Cocoa Bean 
and a short while later, a new foster kitten named Jet. The
three kittens had a wonderful time playing and Pearl wasn't really
certain she wanted to move on to a forever home.
Foster mom said no to
a few applicants, but th
en a very nice home came along. Foster mom
believes Pearl and her new forever family will have a long and happy
tale!
