The cat who overcame physical therapy to get back into hiking – Wiley Catote

Adventurous catexplorers are very active. They go hiking, kayaking and so much more. But when they injure themselves, how do we treat them? That’s exactly what Wiley’s mums faced when she hurt her leg from a fall at home. Wiley went through physical therapy and has come out the other side, and is back to hiking, camping & being a pro catexplorer.
