Special needs. Its a phrase that often makes potential adopters keep scrolling. It leaves beautiful cats stuck in shelters and rescues. It speaks of kitties who don't have it easy but yet they never feel sorry for themselves. What does it mean to adopt a special needs cat? It means that you are needed. It means that love sometimes requires you to give a little more, but then you get so much back in return.
One year old Doreen and Adele can tell you a few things about needing to be special, especially Doreen. She was born with a malformed leg, which had to be removed several months ago. Like all tripod kitties, she is extremely adaptable and has no problem running, climbing, or playing. She is very outgoing and fearless, yet she loves just spending quality time with her humans. Adele takes a little longer to warm up than Doreen, but when she does, she is a lovable sweetheart. She has grown more confident and bold while in foster care. Adele also loves to play and is an expert at giving kisses.
Both kitties have been diagnosed with diabetes insipidus, which causes them to drink large quantities of water. This sounds like a scary diagnosis, but it boils down to each cat needing a pill a day (they love Pill Pockets) and for their water intake to be watched. As with all cats, regular vet monitoring is essential. With good care, Doreen and Adele are happy, adorable, playful little beings that would brighten up any home. They are so much more than their disease, and they want to prove that to you.
We are looking for experienced adopters to give these beautiful girls a home. If you think that you are the person destined to love these two kitties, come and meet them...and see how very special they truly are.
