The day Nutmeg was brought to the shelter, he had a gash on his neck and required immediate assistance. That’s when Kenosha Forgotten Friends stepped in.
“He was immediately taken from the shelter to Kenosha Animal Hospital, where Dr. Carlisle was waiting to examine him,” the rescue group said.

Before the vet could do surgery on Nutmeg, he needed treatment for an infection and swelling. The staff therefore injected him with antibiotics. Two surgeries were needed to close the wound on Nutmeg’s neck, and these were followed by multiple laser treatments.
The tests also revealed that Nutmeg was positive for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV+).
The staff quickly noticed that Nutmeg was a sweet and kind cat. He didn’t seem to fuss when being bathed or when the treatments were being applied.
It didn’t take long for Nutmeg to pick up on the vet’s routine as well. He would get on the table and lie in position for treatment on his own.
And the nutmeg looked better and healthier day by day.
“He’s a really lovely boy, considering what he’s been through,” the rescue team said.
After a few months, Nutmeg was adopted and he cuddled and purred for his new foster mom.
“Nutmeg sat in his foster mom’s lap for a while purring and snuggling, then jumped to his favorite volunteer’s lap as if to say ‘Thanks caretakers but I’m home now,’ then went directly to his new Mom where he stayed,” Kenosha Forgotten Friends said.

“It was a very emotional day for all, as we will miss him.”
At his new home, now Nutmeg has a brother, Frankie, whom he shares a huge bed with.
Nutmeg’s foster mom said, “He has come a long way and is getting all the love and attention he deserves.”
If the recent pictures are any proof, Nutmeg now has everything a kitty could ask for!
