Trooper got her name because she survived two traumas in her first year of life.

She was living outside on her own. Somehow she broke her right front leg. It was never set correctly, so she can’t use it.

Still living outside, in late July of this year she was attacked by a Great Dane.

She suffered a leg wound but she recovered with the help of an emergency vet and a caring foster Mom.

Trooper likes to sit on your lap and be cuddled, but she has limits.

When she is tired of that, she will tell you by nipping you.

Her gimp leg doesn’t stop her from running around, exploring everything and jumping up to see interesting places.

Judging from her energy, she still has all of her nine lives.
