Three years ago, Tommy Trueheart rose to fame after committing himself to stopping animal abuse. Although he once lived as a stray in the California desert and survived on the kindness of strangers who provided him with food, Tommy’s life was forever changed when he suffered a brutal acid attack that left him with severe injuries.
A man who was living on the streets experienced severe harm to his eyes and skull because of a harmful substance. Luckily, some compassionate people came forward to assist him. The man was taken to a vet for treatment, but sadly, his situation did not get better. The first physician who examined the cat’s injuries discovered that he had Iâ´¸F+ and was not understanding of his situation. He suggested that the only remedy was euthanasia.
Luckily, the people who were in charge of looking after Tommy recognized that their behavior was inappropriate and got in touch with Milo’s sanctuary for help. Because of their fast response, Tommy had a chance to recover from the awful mistreatment he had faced. He was immediately transported to a group of expert veterinarians who could offer him the necessary treatment and care that he desperately required.
Tommy’s journey was challenging as he had to take painkillers and antibiotics for more than three months while undergoing critical care. The acid had caused damage, and to correct it, he underwent surgery and skin transplants. Due to his immunodeficiency, the rehabilitation process was complicated, and he needed constant monitoring. Regrettably, he lost an eye, but he found a permanent home at the Milo sanctuary’s Lifetime care. Despite his scars, Tommy would not go back to the streets.
After going through a long healing process, Tommy found a comforting companion in a furry friend he named Daisy. Their story became a source of motivation for many people, inspiring them to raise funds for animals that experience comparable hardships on the streets. Despite his forgiving nature, dealing with illness was not easy for Tommy, and his adoptive mother Michele took extra care to ensure his safety.
