Pet of the Week: Willow

By Planned PEThood of Georgia June 20, 2019

Planned PEThood of Georgia is a non-profit organization. Their mission is to reduce the number of animals killed in the local shelters and to provide affordable services, not to make a profit. They keep overhead costs low in order to keep their prices affordable. Donations are welcome to assist with their efforts!

Willow has a very sad story--and we're looking for an adopter to help give it a happy ending!





We rescued Willow from animal control last year in horrendous shape: She'd been shot in the lower back, mangling her tail, and had a large wound on her right side. Understandably, she didn't want anyone touching her.

Our vet amputated her tail and treated her wounds, and she went to a quiet foster home to recover. Her fosters didn't see her move for 5 days--more out of fear than pain, we think.

It's been a long road, but Willow is now fully healed. She's become more social and confident than we'd ever hoped she could be, and she really likes being petted and playing with the other cats and dogs at her foster home.

We're looking for a calm, patient home for Willow, one without young children. Her new family will need to give her time to come out of her shell and understand that she doesn't like to be picked up or confined--and after her ordeal, we can't blame her.

Willow is about three years old, spayed, up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, and negative for feline leukemia and FIV. Her adoption fee has been sponsored, so she is FREE to an approved adopter. She's available for adoption through Planned PEThood of Georgia, a 501(c)(3) non-profit animal welfare organization in Duluth.

To meet Willow, please contact her foster, Camila, at 404-205-0145.
