The Incredible Transformation of Gala, the Warehouse Queen
It all happened while we were searching for my girlfriend's lost dog. During the search, I spotted a shed and told her, 'Let's check in there.' Inside, we found this little soul. She was about a year old, with fur that looked like a faded, dusty black—as if it had been bleached by the sun.
I called out to her, and to our surprise, she came straight to us. She wasn't feral; she was either a stray or a pet that had lost her way. She was quite thin and suffering from blood parasites, so we took her straight to the vet. After a course of antibiotics, deworming, and vitamins—along with being neutered—her coat completely transformed.
That 'faded' fur is gone, and she is now a deep, solid, glossy black. Her only remaining marking is a charming little milk-stain on her lip, perfectly complementted by her piercing green eyes. It’s been about ten months since that day in the shed, and seeing how happy and healthy she is now makes every bit of effort worth it. And yes, she is definitely a snuggle bug who sleeps with us every night!
