PRETTYBOY by NIKKI

P rettyboy was a mange covered cat who found a place to make his home in Daniel DiCriscio’s yard. Daniel, celebrity hairstylist & tv personality, is an avid animal lover & animal advocate. When he finally saw the cats face in the light he noticed it was covered in mange. Prettyboy’s head was covered in it and he was unable to open his eyes. Prettyboy’s teeth were broken but he still had a “meow” that sounded like a baby. His left eye was injured along with a huge open wound on his head. Daniel immediately took Prettyboy into his home and placed him in a bathroom overnight until he could take him to a good vet. The vet subscribed four mange baths over a period of time, treated Prettyboy’s eye, gave him his shots and fixed him. Prettyboy was only two years old according to the vet. Prettyboy was also severely underweight and through Daniel’s care he slowly gained weight back to a healthy weight. Prettyboy healed in the bathroom over a time of four months. Daniel’s two other cats, which he also rescued as kittens, never did bother Prettyboy or get territorial. Both Alister and Jesse welcomed Prettyboy into the family and they all got along. Daniel’s philosophy is that pets behavior reflects their owners. He explains this as if someone has a crazy uncontrollable pet usually the owner is the same way. Prettyboy healed and became the pretty boy he was named for. Without the fast acting love and dedication of Daniel, the doctor said Prettyboy would have died due to his injuries and dehydration. Prettyboy has flourished in a loving home and constantly shows his appreciation and love back.
