Sarasota-based therapy cat in the running for ‘America’s Favorite Pet’

Shay is a true miracle. Rescued with half his body decomposed, he is a double amputee with a prosthetic on the front so he can walk. Shay was adopted in the Middle East and brought back to the US to be a therapy cat for veterans with disabilities (who also became disabled in the Middle East due to combat). He’s a true testament of resilience to show those going through challenges, or who have disabilities, that they can get through anything, adapt and thrive in life!
