We originally posted Elena back in January of this year after she came to us with her siblings at just 3 months old. Not only the runt of the litter, but also blind in both eyes, she was absolutely terrified of being in the shelter. She hissed at every noise and lived every day in fight or flight mode. Shortly after posting her story, she was adopted. We were so happy for her.
Months went by and in late July, a box was left on our front steps. It was Elena. We don’t know why she was brought back to us. Why she was left. She was so confused. She didn’t know where she was. And we did everything we could to make her comfortable. Once she was settled in her kennel, we were able to do a full exam. She was still completely blind. But not only that – we realized that she was also suffering from Hydrocephalus. She couldn’t catch a break, and it broke our hearts to see her so confused and wondering what was next.
We renamed her Mabel, because she’s no longer that scared, blind baby we used to know. She’s strong. She’s learning her way around Cattery. She’s bonding with the other cats, and they are teaching her how to be confident. Now, we’re looking to find her forever home. One that will commit to caring for her for life. Not just temporarily. But forever.
Mabel will require once-a-day medication for her Hydrocephalus for the rest of her life. We expect the cost to be around $25 per month. But she is completely worth it. She has so much love to give, and she deserves to find a family that will give her love in return.
