Jo Jo was just a small kitten when she was saved from death at the county shelter at the last minute. We knew she walked a little funny so must have had some sort of recent injury, but that’s about all we knew. She was so sweet and affectionate, and so beautiful, we knew she deserved a chance. She went to see the best rehab vet around for an evaluation of the problem. The vet was positive that although something not nice had happened to cause her such an injury to her spinal area, with some intensive therapy she should greatly improve. After all, she was young and had a strong will to live and be a kitten. She stayed at the animal hospital for several weeks receiving daily treatments of acupuncture and physical therapy. She improved greatly and can walk and play like a normal kitten. She absolutely adores all people and thinks she should be giving or getting affection all the time. Everyone at the animal hospital adores her, and they have kept her there all this time trying to find a home for her. It’s been 7 months and still no home. You see, despite Jo Jo being a normal kitten in every way, she has a special need that will require someone to express her bladder a couple times a day. Morning, end of day, and before bedtime would be ideal. The injury to her spine affected her so that her bladder doesn’t work properly. Many pets live wonderful lives with humans that are willing to give them this little bit of extra care. Expressing the bladder only takes a few minutes at the most and once you get familiar with it, it’s just like having a few quality minutes together two or three times a day. Her injury is not painful, and will not cause more problems later. Jo Jo has no idea anything is wrong with her, it’s all she’s ever known. She has spent her entire life until now in a cage. First at the shelter and now all these months at the vet’s office. She has become stir crazy as she is growing and needing exercise. Please, I’m begging you to think hard of any possibility for a home for Jo Jo. She’s a stunning kitten and people are crazy for Russian Blues. Her coat is like pure silk and she smells like a rose. She would light up your life and look like an expensive ornament sitting high up in a cat tree. Although she has been receiving wonderful care at the vets office, she can’t live in a cage much longer. Her kitten life is passing her by. She wants to run and climb and play and lay by your side while you do your thing at home. She wants to sit by a window and look at the birds outside. She would love other cats and dogs, as there is a resident dog at the vet she has befriended. If you don’t know of anyone who might be interested in meeting Jo Jo, please forward this plea to everyone you can think of, as you never know who might see the email and Jo Jo’s photo and might either want to hear more about her or maybe they have another kitty or dog that needs to be expressed also, or they might work around the veterinary field and have experience where they aren’t concerned at all about her special need. After all, a kitty like Jo Jo would bring much happiness to someone and be well worth the little bit of trouble it might be. We have 10 days until Christmas and I’m begging Santa! This is all I want for Christmas! If Santa could find a home for this sweet girl, I would be over the moon with joy and gratitude. Truthfully, my heart is breaking that she is still sitting at the vet in a cage. We just didn’t think it would turn out like this. So now we need to turn things around for her. Please help me help her. I know together we can. We can end this year knowing we really saved this one. Thanks so much for caring and sharing.
