Cat Gets Attacked By Two Dogs, Survives, And Finds His Forever Home With The Veterinarian Who Saved Him
The term “community cats” is used to refer to outdoor, stray, or unowned cats. Friendly, feral, mature, young, healthy, ill, altered, and/or unaltered cats are all possible. They might or might not be looked after. One such cat is named Buddy who unfortunately didn’t find its forever home until it got attacked by two vicious dogs.
Buddy’s story was shared worldwide as people, horrified by what had happened to the cat, started donating in hopes of saving the black stray. However, Buddy wasn’t ready to give up on his life that easily as he did his best to survive.

Before the attack, Buddy was a homeless cat, however, following his recovery, Venanzi, the veterinarian who treated him decided to adopt him

Dave, Venanzi’s husband, had the idea to adopt the cat because he was aware of how closely his wife had bonded with Buddy

Right now, Buddy is happy in his new furever home as he enjoys the company of his new brother Teddy

Share on FacebookDepending on how old the minor offenders were who unleashed the dogs, eventually their parents should be charged, at least here in Germany it would be that way, and their dogs should be seized and rehomed after some training with a dog behavourist. I followed the rescue yet on Facebook and Instagram and also follow cute mini panfur Buddy on Instagram now, I can´t post there myself without a mobile phone, but occasionally I visit Instagram and I can at least follow, like and comment there. I´d have fallen in love with Buddy too, and I´m happy he recovered so well and found such a loving furever home with the vet and her partner.
These minors were 15+ yo teens— old enough to know better. Something other than kindness seems to have gotten the better of them.

Perhaps community service with a rescue service (while being watched very closely) would help. It seemed to help that football player.
Psychopaths usually start by hurting animals before graduating to people.
