Not yet 2 years old, 2 Spot is a handsome cat that was surrended to the Vancouver shelter. He required eyelid surgery to keep his eyelashes from rubbing against his corneas, which was causing him a great deal of discomfort, damaging his corneas, and threatening his vision.
His medical care was provided by the SPCA Vancouver Hospital Trust Fund in honour of Michael Weeks. Michael was the Executive Director of the BCSPCA Vancouver Regional Branch from 1984 to 1996 and was a founding member of the Trust. In both his working and his private life, he was devoted to the protection of animals, and had a particular fondness for cats.
The Trust was able to assist by covering the cost of the surgery and 2 Spot was placed with a foster family where he has fully recovered.
