Big trials for a little cat

Rochelle began her life on the streets. Her stray existence took a toll on her: she arrived at the animal shelter small, weak, and with a serious head injury. At first, the veterinarians were reluctant to start treatment, believing that this little kitten had no chance. However, they took Rochelle seriously, and it turned out that this little ball of fur had an enormous will to live. After four months, Rochelle recovered from her illness – specialists determined that she had suffered a traumatic brain injury.

Can a cat with an injury become a regular companion at home?

As a reminder of her past, Rochelle has only minor coordination issues. Sometimes her walk appears unsteady and wavering, but this happens when she is nervous or scared. In a calm state, she runs around with the other kittens and enjoys the shelter's toys.

If you are considering adopting a cat with such a background or if you have encountered the rehabilitation of a similar animal, take a look at the livestream from the shelter. In the hands of a caring owner, an animal will begin to thrive. Some quirks may remain after recovery, but they do not prevent them from living a full life – playing, interacting with people, forming attachments, and loving them.

Let's support Rochelle together!

Rochelle has now undergone all necessary medical procedures, and the shelter is ready to place her in the hands of a responsible and understanding owner. Ideally, there should be no children under fifteen years old in the household, as they may unintentionally frighten the cat. Rochelle is very affectionate and loves to be held; she would suit someone who wants a contact companion, possibly the only one in the family. We encourage everyone to support Rochelle while she is in the shelter by using our services.
