Stella

Special Kitten Needs a Special Human <br/><br/>This sweet little girl is looking for a very special person to give her the chance at the life she deserves. She's playful, affectionate, and eats like a champ-but she has some unique medical needs that will require daily care and long-term commitment.<br/><br/>Back story...Stella was found abandoned in a box at the edge of the woods at a business along with her two littermates and her mom. Luckily a kind Samaritan found them and alerted someone that could help. <br/><br/> Stella is a bobtail kitten but has no tail or nub at all. She may need lifelong medication, and occasional vet visits or enemas if she becomes constipated.<br/><br/>Condition:<br/> Suspected megacolon-a condition where her colon doesn't contract properly to push stool out.<br/> No anal tone, which means she doesn't always know when she's pooping. She does pee in the litter box, but poop may be found around the house.<br/> She needs to have her bottom wiped clean throughout the day, and sometimes poop must be gently removed with a lubricated thermometer.<br/> Currently passing hard stools, and at times there's a risk that backed-up poop can press against her bladder, so it's important to monitor that she is urinating regularly.<br/><br/>Diet:<br/> Not picky, but staying on a regular diet helps keep her bowels moving and her tummy happy<br/><br/>Personality:<br/> She's just like any other kitten in spirit-playful, loving, and sweet.<br/> She's full of life, curiosity, and character. <br/><br/>What She Needs:<br/> Someone who can stick to her medication and hygiene routine<br/> A watchful eye to ensure she's pooping and peeing regularly<br/> A heart big enough to care for a kitten who may never be "easy"<br/> She is available as a long-term foster or foster-to-adopt, so we can see how she does over time.<br/><br/> While we remain hopeful, this condition may be lifelong and progressive, and there is a possibility that she may need humane euthanasia in the future if she's unable to poop or pee and is suffering. Our goal is always to prioritize quality of life.<br/><br/>But right now-she is thriving with the right care. And we believe she deserves the chance to be loved just like any other kitten.<br/><br/>If you have experience with special needs pets or feel called to help a truly deserving soul, she's ready to meet you. <br/><br/>Please complete an adoption application at hsdavie.org/cats or if you have any questions, please email admin@hsdavie.org
