Medical Foster Needed! 🐱🩵
Meet Godiva, a petite, affectionate young cat who truly lives up to her name: rare, delicate, sweet, and one of a kind.
Godiva came to NAHS this spring after being surrendered from a backyard colony. From the very beginning, we knew she was special. She has always been gentle and loving, but her little body doesn’t move quite like other cats. Her back legs drag, her steps are uncoordinated, and she sometimes gets caught in repetitive circling or head-turning. While we can’t know for certain, it’s likely that inbreeding within the colony contributed to her unique challenges.
In her short time with us, Godiva has already faced a whirlwind of medical ups and downs: emergency surgery for intussusception, ongoing mobility issues, incontinence, and most recently, seizures. Yet through it all, she remains affectionate, curious, and kitten-like in spirit. She loves chasing toys (with surprising little leaps!), curling up in laps, and forming deep bonds with her people.
Now, what Godiva needs most is a medical foster home - a safe, quiet space where she can rest, play, and continue her care outside the stress of the shelter.
✨ Foster Requirements ✨
-Comfort giving oral liquid medication on a schedule
-A flexible routine to help manage her needs
-A calm, quiet home environment
-A ground-floor setup (mobility and litter box challenges)
-Only calm, cat-friendly, UTD cats in the household (if any)
-Patience with incontinence and occasional nighttime vocalizations
Godiva deserves comfort, dignity, and the chance to thrive outside the shelter. She plays like a kitten, flops into laps, and seeks affection whenever she can. She just needs someone who can see past her challenges and recognize the sweet, resilient soul underneath.
NAHS will provide all medical supplies, medications, and guidance - you provide the love, patience, and safe space. If you can open your heart and home to her, even temporarily, please reach out today.
