Luella

Meet Me — Luella<br/><br/>Hi, I’m Luella! I’m a young tabby girl with a whole lot of personality and the "cutest" crooked smile you’ve ever seen. I was found all alone with an injured jaw, and even though it healed, it left me with this adorable little tilt that makes me look like I’m always grinning.<br/><br/>I’m extremely friendly, fearless, and full of life. I love exploring, meeting new people, and being part of whatever’s going on. I do great with other cats and dogs — I’m confident, social, and happy to make new friends.<br/><br/>I’ve been through a lot, but I’m ready for a home where I can shine, play, and be loved the way I deserve.<br/><br/>Luella came to us with quite the broken face. <br/>A fractured cheek bone, fractured jaw, subluxation of her TMJ and a possible mandibular symphysis separation. <br/>Although our vet tried to reset everything, it did not hold (you try telling a kitten to sit still and drink through a straw )<br/> <br/>It was determined the best course of action was to let her heal on her own.<br/> <br/>Her jaw has set, but is crooked. Once she is older and her adult teeth come in, she will need to have dental work to remove any teeth that prevent her mouth from closing correctly. It may be just a couple of teeth, or it could be several. We will not know until those adult teeth are completely in. <br/>She also has very limited range of motion in her jaw and her mouth only opens a small amount. She eats small kibble fine, but we also provide her with a soupy pate wet food twice daily. <br/><br/><br/>Come meet me — I promise my crooked smile will steal your heart.<br/><br/>Visit during our public adoption hours<br/>Tuesdays & Thursdays 5-7pm<br/>Saturdays 1-5pm<br/>Or request a private appointment.<br/>Learn more about adopting a pet at heartofminnesota.org

I’m extremely friendly, fearless, and full of life. I love exploring, meeting new people, and being part of whatever’s going on. I do great with other cats and dogs — I’m confident, social, and happy to make new friends.

I’ve been through a lot, but I’m ready for a home where I can shine, play, and be loved the way I deserve.

Luella came to us with quite the broken face.
A fractured cheek bone, fractured jaw, subluxation of her TMJ and a possible mandibular symphysis separation.
Although our vet tried to reset everything, it did not hold (you try telling a kitten to sit still and drink through a straw )

It was determined the best course of action was to let her heal on her own.
