Instead, they were surprised to find a large defect in the hard palate of Moody\u2019s mouth. This defect was the cause of her congestion.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">A CT scan revealed the full extent of what Moody had endured: multiple facial fractures that were slowly healing. These findings showed that her missing eye, facial injuries, and palate defect were likely evidence of severe trauma from her past.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Moody made the journey to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/aggievetdentist.com\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Aggie Animal Dental Center<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> in Mill Valley, where a dental specialist performed her palate surgery and extracted her two fractured teeth. The surgery was a success! She spent the following night in a foster home so she could recover in comfort, but little did Moody know that she had found her forever home.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-105229 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sfspca.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/moody-blog-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sfspca.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/moody-blog-2.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.sfspca.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/moody-blog-2-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 aria-level=\"2\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">From foster to forever home<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;335559738&quot;:160,&quot;335559739&quot;:80}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Moody&#8217;s foster, Vanessa, first met her during a cat socialization session at our adoption center before her surgery. She said that \u201c[Moody] would not allow pets, but she loved to play, even when she must have been feeling pretty low.\u201d When Moody finally allowed Vanessa to pet her, it was love at first purr! Vanessa could tell that there was something special about this resilient little kitten.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">When Moody needed transportation to her dental surgery and foster afterward, Vanessa didn\u2019t hesitate to volunteer.
