The doubtful feline royalty’s story did not seem to have a magical conclusion. No charming prince or seven dwarves would come to her rescue and rebuild her shattered life. However, she found an unconventional hero who did not ignore her struggles like others did.
Meet Rhonda Anderson, the person who first spotted Snow White approximately four years ago. She made a deliberate decision to capture the feline, who appeared vulnerable, unclean, and discontented. However, Rhonda’s intentions were pure as she is an active member of the Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) community. Little did she know that her initial plan would evolve in unexpected ways.
Rhonda had been observing Snow White for some time and had noticed a decline in her health. She decided to employ the Trap, Neuter, and Return method to help her. Rhonda set the trap as bait, hoping to catch Snow White. Eventually, the trap succeeded, but it was a surprise to discover that Snow White had already undergone the required surgery.
When Rhonda met Snow White again, she noticed that the cat had undergone surgery as her ear was tipped. However, Rhonda was taken aback by Snow White’s deteriorating condition – her fur was matted, her eyes had a constant discharge, and she appeared exceptionally dirty. Although Snow White tested negative for feline HIV, she was diagnosed with an upper respiratory infection and had severe dental issues, which the vet claimed were the worst he had ever seen.
When Snow White was under sedation, the clinic staff decided to pamper her with a luxurious spa treatment. They gave her a refreshing bath, trimmed away all the matted hair, and even treated her to a fancy pedicure. Rhonda managed to book Snow White’s tooth extraction surgery once her upper respiratory infection was cured. To everyone’s delight, it was discovered that not all of her teeth needed to be removed! The veterinary team only had to extract her molars, leaving three canines and all her precious front incisors intact.
Presently, Snow White is enjoying a luxurious lifestyle fit for royalty in the home of Rhonda. The once fearful and uncertain dog has begun to place her trust in Rhonda, now confident that she will be provided with daily meals and showered with love and care. Snow White no longer averts her gaze when spoken to, instead turning her head towards Rhonda. She even accepts belly rubs with a shy eagerness and curls her weathered paws around Rhonda’s finger when given massages. Despite her unkempt and neglected appearance before, Snow White has proven to be a gentle and affectionate princess, elated to have been rescued and to live happily ever after.
Feel free to spread the joy of this amazing tale with all the feline enthusiasts in your life. And don’t forget, it’s never too tardy to do so!
