Special Needs


As you can see from my adoption list, some are special needs. These kitties require more time, more vets followups and other than 'super healthy' cats but not all are like that.

Because there are cats that have chronic diseases, those are not given_by shelters, rescuers and some vets_the respect they should have. And care. Many consider them 'unadoptable', if the cat is in a open-police shelter it is likely it'll be euthanized. And if in an no-kill or foster home, it'll be ages before she's adopted, I do know of a no-kill where cats have lived out their lives there because nobody wanted them. And their lives were much longer than a few years.

Anything in caps with the positive sign at the end scares the public. And then there are other conditions and handicaps that can be deterrents. The key is in educating the adopter and encouraging her to research a particular problem. (continued on next post)
