Simba's “Tail”

A tail with a happy ending

GRAFTON, Wis. – Simba arrived at the Ozaukee Humane Society as a stray.  Someone in the Village of Grafton had trapped and brought him to OHS at the end of April.  Poor Simba looked so fearful.  His limp tail – matted and mangled beyond belief – was close to falling off.  It was obvious Simba had experience some sort or trauma.  His tail might have been trapped in a door; it is anyone's guess as to what poor, fragile Simba endured.

Luckily, for Simba, the caring team at OHS knew just how to help.  After a careful exam, Simba was slated for surgery to remove his fractured tail.  Not only did Simba receive immediate medical attention, he also got the tests, medicine, plenty of nutritious food and fresh water as well as extra TLC.

All the cats who arrive at the Ozaukee Humane Society get special attention and Simba was no exception.  After receiving very specialized surgery, he received plenty of love and affection. 

May 27 he will receive a clean bill of health and be placed in adoption with a guardian who understands his “tail” and is willing to give him the loving home that he deserves.
