She treated the wound but the pellet remains lodged in the cat\u2019s lung.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That brought Spooky into the Sparacino apartment permanently.&nbsp; \u201cWe knew we had to keep her off the streets and inside our home,\u201d Donna said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dougal died in November but another male cat, Teddy, had been &nbsp;added to the household about a year ago.&nbsp; When Dr. Alcala moved to Monarch Veterinary Hospital in Laguna Niguel, Donna and her cats followed her there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy description of her, No. 1, is compassion,\u201d Donna said.&nbsp; \u201cYou find a vet that feels what you feel and they just know. And it\u2019s all for the best interest of the animal.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Donna took Spooky to see Dr. Alcala for her wellness checkup last September at Monarch Hospital. The veterinarian recommended dental treatment for inflamed gums and heavy tartar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, Donna said, \u201cthings are kind of tight around here.&nbsp; I\u2019m on my fixed social security income.&nbsp; And Terrell had lost his job in March of 2020.&nbsp; We thought maybe we could let the senior [blood] panel go \u2013 part of the wellness checkup \u2013 but Dr. Alcala said: \u2018You really need to have the blood panel before you get any work done on the teeth.\u2019&nbsp; We wanted to wait a little bit before doing the teeth.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBut she said, \u2018You know what? &nbsp;Because you\u2019re seniors on a fixed income, and all the things that are going on [such as Covid], there\u2019s a possibility you can get some help.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The doctor suggested applying to the Animal Health Foundation\u2019s Boydston Fund, which helps senior citizens.&nbsp; Donna did and was granted $500, an amount matched by the hospital.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI was so ecstatic, Donna said.&nbsp; \u201cAre you kidding me?&nbsp; It\u2019s like nothing else mattered with my Christmas.&nbsp; That was just pure joy.&nbsp; I said to Terrell: \u2018Look at what we\u2019re being given! Maybe this is an indication of a better year ahead.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The dental work was done on December 27.&nbsp; Dr. Glenn Craft, who owns Monarch, extracted Spooky\u2019s left upper canine tooth.&nbsp; After the procedure, Donna said, \u201cDr. Craft sat with us in the lobby and talked with us.&nbsp; Then we talked with Dr. Alcala.&nbsp; They are amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spooky, who got her name because she first showed up at the Sparacino apartment during the Halloween season in 2008, is feeling much better now.&nbsp; \u201cShe\u2019s all about belly rubs.&nbsp; I\u2019ll be sitting at my desk and she\u2019ll come and start head bumping my elbow, like \u2018I need attention now.\u2019&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI feel like we\u2019re so blessed.&nbsp; We have the Christmas gift of Spooky\u2019s health. It makes us so happy.&nbsp; Our cats are our family.\u201d&nbsp; Teddy, the new kid of the household, was adopted to be a companion to Spooky.&nbsp; \u201cHe\u2019s a little rambunctious,\u201d Donna said.&nbsp; \u201cWe were hoping for a little more mature male cat but we\u2019re not giving up on him.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spooky, a beautiful black and white,
