Sadly, Sassy Cat lost her battle with cancer almost 12 months after she arrived in our care.

At the time of her arrival, she seemed happy and healthy and very much adoptable. An application was in progress when her foster mom noticed a mammary lump.

Sassy Cat’s histopathology report showed that she has a very rare type of mammary cancer. At the time of her surgery, when 6 mammary tumours were removed, what was believed to be an infected gland was also excised. Not only was one of the masses cancerous but the cancer had spread to the inguinal lymph nodes.

Sassy Cat’s tumour has been classified as high grade and being metastatic already, gives her an unfavourable prognosis.

We are grateful that Sassy Cat has loving foster parents, and foster grandparents, who will love and care for her, for the rest of her life. She is truly the sweetest of dogs and our hearts are broken that she is yet another dog whose life will be unnecessarily cut short. This was completely preventable had Sassy Cat been spayed at a young age.

Run free sweet girl, you’ll always be remembered.
