Description

Remy is a Manx kitten with a confirmed congenital condition known as anal atresia (born without a properly formed anus). Following evaluations by two separate veterinarians, it has been determined that she is permanently fecally incontinent. This condition is lifelong and cannot be surgically corrected.Because she cannot control her bowels, her daily management requires a strict, high-maintenance care schedule: Continuous Hygiene: Frequent, daily baths are required to manage fecal accurate and prevent severe skin scalding. Diapering & Ointments: She must wear diapers continuously, requiring multiple changes throughout the day alongside the application of heavy-duty protective ointments. Remy highly dislikes this process and will resist diaper changes. Chronic Medical Risks: Due to her anatomy, Remy is highly susceptible to frequent urinary tract infections (UTIs). An adopter must have the financial means and time for recurring, short-notice veterinary visits and ongoing courses of antibiotics.Remy is looking for a specialized, highly dedicated caregiver who has existing experience with severe feline incontinence. She is entirely dependent on her caregiver for her basic hygiene and medical health, and this routine will remain unchanged for the duration of her life.Serious, experienced inquiries only.
