Earlier this year, Whitney Malin , a New Jersey animal rescuer, found an orange tabby cat in dire need of rescue. He was in very rough shape with a serious wound on his back that was covered in maggots.
Whitney was able to get hold of the cat using a humane trap, and was shocked by the condition he was in. dr. Morkos, a veterinarian, spent half an hour cleaning and treating the wound for the cat they named Garfield.
Once the infection cleared, Garfield underwent surgery on his back to remove necrotic tissue to ensure a full recovery.

Days after surgery, Garfield felt so much better as if a huge weight had been lifted from his back. His voracious appetite also returned.
Garfield was a little wary of people at first after the long ordeal, but he clearly wanted affection. He needed a foster home where he could continue his healing process and where he could be cared for and socialized.

Laura S. and her husband Josh opened their hearts and home to Garfield and made it their mission to help him prosper.
“This is a couple with so much love in their hearts, who have years of experience working with all kinds of cats – difficult, easy and everywhere in between,” Whitney told Love Meow. “I want him to know what it feels like to have a good life.”
