75 shelter animals left LA County shelters on our emergency Flight to Freedom to make space for hundreds of animals rescued from horrible conditions. One of the lucky passengers on the flight was a cat named Captain Wink.

His life has been tough as a stray, and he has the scars and injuries to prove it. The black and white cat was found injured and in need of medical care by a concerned resident who called their local shelter for help. Rescuers were able to trap the cat and bring him to a clinic for care.

Captain Wink got his name because he arrived missing one eye and dragging an injured leg that was never treated. His leg needed to be amputated, and his eye socket sown shut.

He underwent surgery and is on the road to recovery. He was cleared to fly to get the second chance he deserves to find a loving home.

Captain Wink is at a shelter in Idaho thanks to Flight to Freedom where he is continuing to heal before being put up for adoption.
