She spend hundreds of hours in animal behavior training.
Last year, Cinderella required surgery for a cranial cruciate tear that was performed by one of spcaLA’s veterinary hospital partners. The $3,000 procedure was made possible by donations from spcaLA supporters, officials said.
She then spent a month recovering in foster care in a volunteer’s home.
Despite several TV appearances, officials speculate that Cinderella’s breed or age may have played a role in her not getting adopted — “two things she could do nothing about.”

Eventually, a family came to the shelter and asked which pup had been there the longest.
“After a couple of meetings, and a week to prepare, Cinderella’s wish came true. She now has a family of three with four feline siblings of her very own,” officials detailed.
“Staff did an excellent job keeping Cinderella healthy and joyful while she was at spcaLA,” Madeline Bernstein, spcaLA president, said.
