Cici was brought into Downey Animal Shelter as a stray with no microchip, severely underweight, and battling kennel cough. Thanks to the shelter’s incredible veterinary team, she received the care she needed and was ready for adoption. But just as she was about to leave the shelter, she suddenly had trouble walking and collapsed.
The adoption was paused while vets performed X-rays and a full evaluation. Nothing was physically wrong. Cici was simply overwhelmed and stressed.
Our team stepped in to give her a safe place to decompress, and at just 2 years old, Cici quickly began to thrive. Before long, she was adopted again, this time into a loving forever home with a furry brother by her side. We couldn’t be happier for her happy ending. Have the most beautiful life, Cici. 🐾💛
