But sadly, rescuers couldn’t erase all the scars from Spot’s past life. The severity of the animal’s injuries meant doctors were able to keep the cat from going deaf during ear surgery. Still, Spot is happier and healthier than ever. Now, he spends his days showing gratitude and love to everyone around him while patiently waiting for someone to adopt him.
“Spot loves people and companionship and is happy to be with you at all times,” the rescuers wrote. “He is very affectionate and will kneel down for a cuddle as soon as you sit down. Spot really wants to be the only pet in the house so he gets all the attention and noise.”
