After several surgeries, Misty is recovering and in "remarkably good spirits," the shelter said in a Facebook post.

"Even as a victim of extreme abuse, Misty was quick to trust the good people around her," they wrote. "She is soulful and loving, quick to trust and eager to please—an absolute sweetheart who wants nothing more than gentle pets and to give lots of kisses."

The shelter also thanked the public for their support and donations to help Misty recover.

"We are not sure at this time if she will make a full recovery, but we do expect she will have a good quality of life. We remain hopeful and are seeing that she gets the most high quality care," they wrote.
