Hello, my name is Melissa Vasquez. I am a rescuer and TNR trapper. I would like to share a story about a stray cat that I trapped in July 2023. Someone made a post on Next Door about a cat with a big wound on his neck outside of a Taco Bell.
I saw the post on Facebook because multiple people were sharing the Next Door link. I saw multiple comments of people saying he had been like that for a couple days, and those comments made me so sad.
As soon as I got out of work, I drove home and went to get a trap, wet cat food, tuna, and blankets because a rescue offered to take him. When I went to the Taco Bell, I couldn't find him, but I looked all around the business places for 48 minutes and found him behind the dumpster in the Taco Bell.
As soon as I saw him, I got out of my car, set up my trap, and waited for him to go in. After 10 minutes of waiting, I trapped him and drove him to a rescue that offered to take him. The Cat Whisper Rescue Corporation's name is Bill. He is safe and getting treated at NVC, Nederland.
