Annabelle's ?Tail? in Need of a Happy Ending

MILWAUKEE ? Annabelle arrived at the Wisconsin Humane Society clearly in pain. This 1.5-year-old domestic medium haired feline had a tail that was hanging by a thread. In fact, Annabelle was in so much discomfort that she tried biting her own tail off to relieve the pain.

While it is unknown what happened to Annabelle's tail ? whether she experienced some sort of trauma such as a door closing on her tail or if she was deliberately injured ? one thing is known for certain: WHS veterinarian staff is taking good care of her and ensuring she is on the right road to recovery.

Luckily, for Annabelle, the caring team at WHS knew just how to help. Unfortunately, help only meant one thing ? completely removing her tail. Not only did Annabelle receive this immediate surgery, she also got the tests, medicine, plenty of nutritious food and fresh water as well as extra TLC to ensure her stay at WHS was as comfortable as possible.

Today, Annabelle was given the approval of WHS veterinarians to become available for adoption. She is hoping to have a happy ending and be adopted by a guardian who understands Annabelle's ?tail? and is willing to give her plenty of love and affection that she so rightly deserves.

For more information about Annabelle, please call the Wisconsin Humane Society at (414) ANIMALS.  Information about the Wisconsin Humane Society can be found online at www.wihumane.org.
