Lucky Cat Survives Burning, Gets New Life

A cat found burned in Shafter on Sept. 11 is getting a second chance at life.

Shafter Animal Control picked up the injured cat that sustained injuries to its face, ears, front paws and back.

The cat, expected to recover and live a mostly normal life, is resting temporarily at the Shafter Animal Shelter.

The Best Friends Animal Society will soon arrive to rehabilitate the cat and keep it until it can be put up for adoption.

Shyanne Bozarth, Shafter City Animal Control Manager, said BFAS are the largest animal sanctuary in the U.S., specializing in rescuing and rehabilitating special needs animals.

"This is a very lucky cat that otherwise would likely have to be euthanized due to significant long-term care, healing and unsightly scarring," Bozarth said. She added, "Our small shelter does not have the resources or space to hold a cat with his needs."

A representative from BFAS will be arriving from Kanab, Utah, to pick up the cat on Saturday morning.
