Goldfinger made the news in a bad way in September 2016 when he was rescued from a claw trap by the Jessamine County Animal Control officers. But he was in desperate shape with wounds to his black left foot and tail. He had infection and was is terrible pain. He was given the best of care, surgery to remove several of his toes, and a long healing process. But his future was uncertain. He amazingly adapted to the clinic but really needed his own home. Our rescue took him in at the end of October once he had been cleared medically. It took no time for him to begin friendships with the people and the cats of the home and a campaign was started to find him a home - on the news again!

Right before Thanksgiving, he went to the most wonderful home in the world where he fit right in with the people and the pets. We received a beautiful Christmas card from him. A happy-ever-after story!

Goldfinger was caught in a terrible illegal claw trap in September 2016. He made the news! He lost three toes to amputation, but his leg and foot were saved.  He needed time for healing and rehab, but tough he had been through some terrible ordeals, the very sweet, loving boy began to emerge.

In November he was finally ready for discharge from the vet and spent a few weeks in his foster home. At last he was ready to find his forever family! And the perfect family he found. Here is Gold, who got a new family and a new name just in time for Christmas.
