Daija
She is spayed, up to date with rabies and distemper vaccines, dewormed microchipped, felv/fiv negative, 100% litterbox trained, and has her claws.
Before we got Daija, we were told she had a badly fractured left front leg, that couldn’t be saved. We got her the day after it was removed, and the first thing we did, was take her to our vet, where they discovered it was badly infected. So she again went into surgery, they debrided the infected tissue, and she was put on antibiotics. It was also discovered during her amputation, some harsh drugs were used, which affected her kidneys. It didn’t look like things were going too good for her, in her short little life. Well, she spent a few days in the hospital, they flushed out her system to get rid of the drugs, her kidneys went back to normal and her amputation healed. She was on the mend! Today she is a healthy, happy girl!
She likes it when her foster mom sits on the floor, so she can lay next to her with a paw draped over, or head resting on her leg.
She loves sleeping on our bed at night, or on a cat tree nearby. She loves saying goodnight and good morning, by snuggling close to us on our bed and getting her nose scritches and pets. She loves pets and she loves combing!
Daija likes to see what we’re up to and help if she can, so she follows us from room to room during the day, and camps out really closeby, until we move to another room. She likes cat trees, and we have cat trees in every room, so she always has a comfy place to hang out. During the day, if she wants to be in a quiet spot, she’s also been known to hang out on our bed. Lol
Daija likes wand toys, fuzzy little toys, da rat, play center, electronic toys, chasing, wrestling, going in the enclosed catio and watching the wildlife outside. But she’s pretty low-key, and not rambunctious at all. Daija being a tripod, doesn’t slow her down one bit! She climbs cat trees, jumps up on things, wrestles, runs, etc, just like any “regular” kitten. She needs no special requirements.
Here’s the special needs part. We don’t know what horrendous event led up to Daija losing her leg, but it affected her greatly. She is really afraid of strangers. She’ll need someone that is patient with her and gives her the time to love and trust you. Once she does, she’s beautifully loving.
If you watch her video, she is like this every day with her foster mom. She’s the first to lay by you in bed and give you purrs and get her pets. She loves to get her nose and belly rubs, and for you to hold her paw. During playtime, foster mom sits on the floor, and she is always the first one there to lay on my leg. What she doesn’t like, is to get picked up, it makes her very nervous.
The best home for her would be a quiet home with no dogs and no small kids. (under 14 years old). She would need a slow introduction period if there are resident cats.
