We welcomed the beautiful Patsy into the Flori’s Friends family in April 2024. From the moment she arrived, it was clear she had been through something truly horrific.
Patsy was the victim of unimaginable cruelty. She came to us with multiple spinal fractures, paralysed, and incontinent. Her body had been broken by human hands—and her spirit had been forced to survive in silence.
For months, we fought to understand and treat her. This year, we finally began to gain control over her complex health issues. But the truth is, Patsy will never be “fixed.” She will never be fully healed from what was done to her. All we can do is give her the love, care, and safety she was denied.
Patsy suffers from severe inflammatory bowel disease, reoccurring UTIU’s and needs a special diet that we loving prepare for her. Each meal is a reminder that she is no longer being forced to survive—she is being cared for.
She also lives with eosinophilic bronchitis, a condition that requires daily steroids and inhalers. And because she is paralysed, Patsy needs physiotherapy and hydrotherapy to maintain her muscle strength and prevent further deterioration.
When she first arrived, Patsy’s muscles had been so overworked from dragging herself that she couldn’t even fully extend her front legs. Now, thanks to consistent physio and hydrotherapy, she is in a much better state—but her progress must be maintained. She also receives laser therapy every morning, a gentle treatment that helps her feel comfortable and loved.
Patsy will never be put up for adoption. She will stay with us forever—because she deserves stability, safety, and a home that can manage her complex needs.
This little lady has endured more pain than any animal should ever have to endure. She has survived cruelty, neglect, and heartbreak. And now she deserves a happy ending.
Please consider sponsoring Patsy. Your support helps us provide her daily treatments, specialist diet, physiotherapy, hydrotherapy, and the ongoing care she needs to live a comfortable, joyful life.
Patsy has already survived so much. Now she just needs us to keep her safe.
