Nova

Meet Nova: a small but mighty kitten with a huge personality who's ready to steal your heart. <br/><br/>Nova is a brave little fighter with a heart full of love and a personality that shines brighter than her name. She has been through SO much! She was rescued after being found in the mouth of a raccoon. She didn't have any puncture wounds but suffered a back injury. She has two tightly compressed discs, which caused complete paralysis of he back legs. She was originally unable to urinate on her own. She now has no issues going to the bathroom, but most of the paralysis remains. We had hoped for more significant movement to be regained, but there has only been a slight improvement. She was also riddled with parasites, causing serious tummy troubles. She has endured several rounds of different medicines and needed extra TLC—but she has blossomed into a thriving, playful, and affectionate kitten.<br/><br/>At just over two and a half pounds, Nova is still catching up in size, but don't let her tiny frame fool you—she's bursting with energy and mischief. Nova loves to play “stealth mode,” sneaking around corners to surprise the older cats. She's clever, adventurous, and always keeps her foster family smiling. She also learned to use ramps so she can climb up to the couch, where she happily burrows into soft blankets for naps.<br/><br/>When it's time to recharge, Nova retreats to her cozy Furhaven bed, but she also loves snuggles, car rides, and spending time with her foster family.<br/><br/>Nova does have special needs. Due to her back injury, she likely won't regain use of her back legs, and she will need to wear diapers for life. Her daily routine consists of bathing, powdering, and occasionally cream for her diapered areas (sometimes several times a day), physical therapy exercises, red light therapy, playtime, and lots of snuggles. She would also benefit greatly from kitten wheelchairs, upgraded as she grows, and the addition of acupuncture and electrostim. She doesn't let any of this slow her down one bit; she climbs, zooms, and plays like any other kitten. She simply needs a forever family who is willing to continue the care routine she's used to.<br/><br/>Nova is healthy, happy, off all medications, and officially ready for her forever home. Her ideal family will understand her special needs and love her for the incredible, resilient, and sweet kitten she is.<br/><br/> Could you be the one to give Nova the safe, loving home she's been waiting for? <br/><br/>You can find more pictures and videos of Nova on Instagram @skihousepets
