Special Needs Cats and Kittens
 
Jet

Jet - Born April 2002, Black Medium-haired male. He is brain damaged and requires a very special needs home.He is the sweetest kitten!! He purrs immediately when touched by a human. Jet had an allergic reaction to the anesthesia and died during surgery.His brain was without oxygen, so he is now brain damaged. Jet can walk, run, meow, feed himself, use the litterpan, groom, and lap water.Jet can figure out how to navigate a new room within a very few minutes. Jet can also climb (not jump) onto the bed. He "walks off" the edge of the bed (not jumps) a bit ungracefully, but unharmed!!! As of now, Jet cannot fully see, or fully hear. His left ear has 30% hearing, and he has some peripheral vision in each eye, and some forward vision in his right eye. He has recently been "helping" wrap holiday gifts - he loves interaction of any kind! Especially interesting noiseslike; tissue or wrapping paper, tape,crinkly bows, etc. What fun!Jet reacts defensively when he encounters another cat, and other cats do not tolerate him well (other cats can "sense" he is needy, which is not considered a survival trait in the animal kingdom). Jet has been on herbal treatments to try and heal more of his brain function.He is under close supervision of Dr. Earle at Coastal Animal Hospital in Rockledge, FL. He is a special needs kitten. contact Mona at : [email protected]
