It’s been a rough year for Taco. He’s such a sweet boy. All he wants is a home of his own and a family to love him.Around the middle of March Taco showed up at an Irving automotive repair garage with a massive burn on neck. The garage took the injured stray to Irving Animal Services. At first they thought it might have been an accident-perhaps from Taco rubbing up against a hot muffler-but then two more cats showed up with similar wounds. Taco’s was the most severe. One of his vets had no doubt that his injury occurred at the hand of a bad person. Trusting, affectionate Taco, loves people and would have gladly approached the attacker who burned him from the base of his skull to below his shoulder blades.

Irving Animal Services needed help with Taco. For a week those dedicated volunteers sent out desperate emails begging for a foster home to take their sweet boy. Animal Allies of Texas stepped up and took him in.

Poor Taco had to endure twice hydrotherapy treatments. He never ran from his foster mom and he stood in the kitchen sink as gracefully as a wet cat could. No fighting, no hissing, simply embarrassed resignation. For four months Taco had to wear a T-shirt to prevent him from scratching his wound. He’s the perfect companion for the lady who wants to dress up her cat.

Today Taco has completely recovered from his attack. He’s active and affectionate. He’s quick to claim an empty lap. He gets along with other cats. He even likes the family dog. This gray tabby and white, gold-eyed boy is about a year-old (born in Summer 2013). His adoption fee is only $110 and it includes:

Neuter surgery (already done)
Microchip
FVRCP and rabies vaccinations
Negative feline leukemia and FIV test.
