The poor little thing – she looks like she’s had some hard knocks in life. How wonderful that you could see past the neglect and give her a chance. She will be gorgeous when she’s filled out, cleaned up and properly cared for.
Isn’t it amazing how an animal can come from an uncaring, even abusive, environment and still be sweet and trusting. I don’t think I would be purring if someone had treated me so badly.
Once you know more about her thyroid condition, maybe you can ask the vet about radiation therapy. I’m hearing more and more good stories about how well it works (including the neighbour’s cat who is like a new kitty after her therapy).
