Wally Says Look at Meow!
Home for the Holidays Happy Tail
Then: Wally needed over $3,000 in emergency surgery to repair wounds to his face, legs, and tail.
Earlier this Fall, we shared the story of Wally. The small grey and white cat had seriously injured himself after somehow scaling the 30-40 foot wall at Bridgewater State Prison and getting stuck in the razor wire.
Soon after returning to the ARL’s Boston shelter to complete his recovery following surgery to repair his wounds, Wally found a wonderful new home.
Today, Wally is now known as Silvio (aka Mr. Sil).
His family reports that he continues to be a spunky little guy! He and his big sister Cleo, a Siamese mix and ARL Dedham alum (’09) became fast friends and are really enjoying having a kindred playful spirit around.
During the day, Silvio and Cleo love looking out windows together to watch the birds and squirrels. And at night, both cats snuggle up with their human companions after a long day of play.
Say Silvio’s parents, “We are so happy to have Silvio in our lives. Such a wonderful, resilient and loving animal!”
Stories like Silvio’s are truly like a holiday wish come true. Thank you to our supporters who donated over $7,000 for medical assistance for Wally and other animals like him.
