Description
Meet Tasha — a little girl who has been through far more than any cat should have to endure, and somehow came through it still believing that people are wonderful.When Tasha arrived at the shelter, she was suffering from bladder stones that had likely been causing her pain and discomfort for months. She also had a severe, untreated urinary tract infection that was likely responsible for the stones forming in the first place. Despite feeling absolutely miserable, Tasha was nothing but sweet. The shelter staff fell in love with her and advocated hard to get her the help she desperately needed.We brought Tasha into rescue and were able to get her into surgery just a couple of days later. Fourteen bladder stones were removed, and her bladder was filled with pus from the infection. Unfortunately, her troubles weren't quite over. Five days after her first surgery, her bladder sutures failed to hold, causing a life-threatening complication that required an emergency second surgery. Tasha came frighteningly close to losing her life.But this little girl is a fighter.It has now been two weeks since her second surgery, and Tasha is doing wonderfully. She is healed, happy, comfortable, and no longer experiencing the pain that had been her normal for so long. She is now on a special prescription diet to help prevent future bladder stones, and we are committed to keeping her healthy and giving her the happy life she deserves.And what does Tasha think about all of this? Mostly, she thinks people should be paying attention to her.This girl LOVES butt scritches and will happily roll over and over again to make sure you don't stop. She adores attention and affection, and despite everything she's been through, she has remained one of the sweetest cats you could ever meet.Tasha didn't get the easy start she deserved. She spent months hurting, survived two major surgeries, and came terrifyingly close to dying. Now she's ready for the part of her story she has been waiting for: a loving forever home where she can finally be spoiled, comfortable, and adored.If you're looking for a sweet, affectionate girl who will happily trade endless butt scritches for endless love, Tasha may be your girl.Adoption fee of $120 includes spay, microchip, vaccines, deworming, FIV/FeLV testing, and flea preventionApply here: https://2pawsup.org/applications/adoption-application/
