This little angel has some hind end mobility issues for which she needs follow up vet care to find out if her condition is due to trauma or a congenital neuro issue. She has a shortened tail which too, is not known if it is congenital or due to an injury. Nonetheless, she is a little sweetheart who needs and deserves lots of love and care.

Please contact a New Hope rescue if you can help this little calico. Transportation is available.

Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Kelis came into the care center as a stray, so we cannot speak to her behavior in her previous home. She is being treated for a significant medical condition and has allowed only minimal handling in the care center. We cannot be certain how much of her behavior may be in response to pain or discomfort. We recommend placement with a New Hope partner who can address her medical condition and then re-evaluate her behavior in a stable home environment.
