Hi, I’m Kitty!

The staff at the OHS call me a Star! Stars tend to be self-starters and like to spend part of their day on independent activities, like exploring every nook and cranny of your home! They also enjoy time with their family, but usually on their own terms. Their favourite family activities may include playing with engaging toys, participating in fun training games, or curling up for a nap somewhere close by. Stars are usually pretty resourceful and like to figure out how things work, so they benefit from places to explore and perches near windows. Stars may also be good candidates for harness training and leash walks outdoors! If you're looking for an entertainer with loads of personality, a Star might just be the purrfect match for you!

I can become overstimulated and would benefit from a home that has kids 10 years or older.

I had surgery performed on my hip and knee at the OHS. I am now ready to find my new home and will benefit from ongoing veterinary supervised physiotherapy to continue to strengthen my leg.

I have excessive inflammation of my gums, possibly due to feline chronic gingivostomatitis (FCGS). I will require regular veterinary check-ups to monitor this condition. It is possible I will require ongoing veterinary dental care under anesthesia to manage my condition.

This cat underwent orthopedic surgery that required the placement of implants. Typically, these are metal implants. Most often, implants do not cause any future concerns other than cold sensitivity with metal implants. Occasionally, infection or inflammation can develop around an implant, in which case it would need to be removed. This implant removal may have to be done by a veterinary surgical specialist. You will need to monitor this cat closely for signs of implant problems such as lameness, swelling or draining tracts. Regular veterinary examinations will be important to monitor your cat and ensure no complications are occurring.

This cat has hip dysplasia. This disease is caused by abnormal development leading to an imperfect fit of the leg into the hip joint. This condition may require long-term pain relief medications, physiotherapy, supplements, controlled activity and optimal body condition to manage. Animals on long-term medications will often require periodic blood work to monitor for side effects. With severe cases, surgery may be recommended. You will need to discuss the cat’s medical condition with your veterinarian to come up with a treatment/management plan. This cat is likely to develop degenerative joint disease (DJD) in the hips (if this is not already present).
