An orange tabby cat is on the road to recovery after surviving an attack by two dogs in the North Okanagan.
The BC SPCA said Ping was brought to their Shuswap shelter by a good Samaritan who saw two dogs shaking something and tossing it in the air as he was driving down a rural road just outside Enderby.
When the man realized it was a cat, he stopped and got out of his truck and the dogs dropped the cat and fled. He was able to catch Ping, who was covered in drool and blood, wrap her up in his leather jacket and bring her to the shelter.
“When Ping arrived she was very cold, wet and frightened,” said Victoria Olynik, manager of the Shuswap BC SPCA. “She was so frightened that when we unwrapped her from the leather jacket she tried to run from us but her back legs weren’t working, so we rushed her to the veterinarian.”
