Havi - Havana and Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in New Braunfels, Texas

Meet Havi - A Tiny Fighter with a Giant Spirit

Some kittens enter the world with every advantage. Havi wasn't one of them--but she has proven from the very beginning that she has no intention of giving up.

Havi was born with a rare neural tube defect, similar to spina bifida in humans. The condition affects her spine, but importantly, she has no neurological deficits. She is bright, alert, curious, and determined to do everything a kitten should.

Her journey hasn't been easy. After surviving a difficult start, Havi suffered a second heartbreaking injury when she was drop-kicked, requiring additional veterinary care and ongoing follow-up. Despite everything she has endured, her resilience continues to amaze everyone caring for her.

As of July 22, Havi has reached exciting milestones:

She is eating on her own.
She has stood on all four legs.
She is actively participating in physical therapy every day.
Her strength and mobility continue to improve with each session.

Our veterinary team is optimistic that, with continued physical therapy, Havi will continue making excellent progress. She may always have a slight limp, but we fully expect that to become just one small part of what makes her unique.

If you've ever met a kitten who refuses to let life's challenges define her, that's Havi. She greets each day with determination, curiosity, and the kind of courage that inspires everyone around her.

Havi's story is still being written, and we'll continue to share updates as she grows stronger. Every milestone she reaches is a reminder that hope, patience, expert veterinary care, and a whole lot of love can make extraordinary things possible.

Please keep cheering this incredible little girl on. We know she has many more victories ahead.Thank you for considering adopting one of our kittens/cats.
