“Tonight we rescued a kitten with rear leg
paralysis from suspected abuse. She is so sweet and so vulnerable; we
absolutely could not say no to her,” Kitten Lady shared on Instagram. “We had actually visited the
shelter to pick up a 2 week old orphan, but we ended up taking not just the 2
week old…but also this 6 week old who cannot use her back legs at all. Tomorrow
we will go to the vet for diagnostics and begin her road to recovery. I don’t
yet know what will happen, but I do know this: now that she’s here, no one will
ever lay a cruel hand on her again. She will be loved, she will be fluffy and
clean, and she will be given the best chance I can give her at regaining
mobility.”
Meet Chloe! This
adorable kitten has rear leg paralysis from suspected abuse. She just received
her first acupuncture treatment and the results were absolutely incredible!
“Things she likes:
toys, soft sweet talking, gentle chin scratches, having her backside held up
for her so she can walk around and explore using her front legs.”
At the vet, it was
determined that Chloe was likely stepped on which resulted in her broken back.
Her prognosis wasn’t good, and vets believed she might not live to be a full
grown cat. She has a laundry list of serious health concerns, one of the main
being her bladder. It needs to be expressed manually which is especially
difficult due to muscles of her urethral sphincter being constricted. She will
need a muscle relaxer and a lot of gentle, frequent care.
Her human parents
however weren’t going to throw in the towel. They fell in love with Chloe and
were going to do everything they could to give her the happy love filled life
that she deserved. They decided to look into some alternative treatments in
regards to Chloe’s neurological damage. So when they took Chloe to receive some
acupuncture treatment at City Paws Animal Hospital, they were praying for a
miracle.
“Chloe’s first
acupuncture experience exceeded our wildest expectations.”
