After being hit by a car, Brody was picked up by Hamilton Animal Services. They took Brody to the vet where he stayed for his stray time. No owner came forward to claim him, so shelter staff reached out to us for help. We were happy to take this poor boy in, and he was transferred to one of our affiliate vet clinics on his rescue day.
X-rays revealed a slight fracture in Brody’s jaw, but it is in a spot that will likely heal without surgery. Brody is eating on his own (a great sign) and is on pain management medication. He’ll stay at the vet for a few days to see how things are healing, and we’ll go from there. Once he’s fully healed from his ordeal, Brody will be made available for adoption.

Welcome to Ladybird, Brody! We’re so happy you’re here!

March 17/24 UPDATE

Brody is finally ready to leave the vet! He had a short set back where he didn’t want to eat on his own, but he is back to chowing down by himself. Yay! Big thank you to Dr. Stubbs and staff at West Park Animal Hospital for giving Brody extra love and care during his stay. Brody will be heading to his foster home soon, and he’ll have some more time to heal before a follow-up appointment in a couple of weeks.
Brody is the snuggliest guy! He loves scritches and laps and just wants to hang out with people. A real love bug!

Way to go, Brody!

* May 2/24 – UPDATE *

Brody is ready to find his forever home! He’s all healed up and excited to start the next chapter of his life. Big thank you to Brody’s foster family for taking such great care of him and helping him recover from his ordeal.
Here’s a note from Brody’s foster dad:
“One word I’ve used to describe Brody since I brought him home is ‘perfect’. He was assumed to be a stray but he has been a friendly and social cat to his foster humans since day one. He always exists around his humans and will do his thing. When he wants attention or pets, he will come to you and be a cuddle bug and purr machine combined. He doesn’t sit in one spot for long unless he finds the perfect combination of cuddle and comfort. He was initially unsure of his foster siblings, two resident cats who just turned 1. When he realized his space, comfort and food are guaranteed- he was a perfect fit. He tends to play rough but it was a perfect match for his foster sibling, who is a black voidling cat too, as he likes to play rough also. There are no dogs or kids in his foster home, however I do think he can adapt with proper and slow introductions and if his boundaries are respected.”

Please adopt Brody!
