The term “community cats” is used to refer to outdoor, stray, or unowned cats. Friendly, feral, mature, young, healthy, ill, altered, and/or unaltered cats are all possible. They might or might not be looked after. One such cat is named Buddy who unfortunately didn’t find its forever home until it got attacked by two vicious dogs.
Buddy’s story was shared worldwide as people, horrified by what had happened to the cat, started donating in hopes of saving the black stray. However, Buddy wasn’t ready to give up on his life that easily as he did his best to survive.

Before the attack, Buddy was a homeless cat, however, following his recovery, Venanzi, the veterinarian who treated him decided to adopt him

Dave, Venanzi’s husband, had the idea to adopt the cat because he was aware of how closely his wife had bonded with Buddy
