DAVIS >> Dr. Elizabeth Montgomery crouched beside the cage of a long-haired, black-and-white cat with blisters and second-degree burns on all four paws. She stroked his head, examined his bandages and adjusted the soft collar around his neck that prevented him from licking his wounds.
The cat is one of dozens of pets badly burned in two Northern California wildfires that are being treated at the University of California, Davis Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital and who will be returned to their owners or placed for adoption once they recover.
