Xena’s life began with the roar of a car engine and the screech of tires. A tiny, gray-and-white kitten, she was found on the side of a busy road, her front leg so badly mangled that the difficult but necessary decision was made to amputate it.
For a time, Xena was a shadow of her former self. Disoriented and in pain, she would hide in the corners of her recovery kennel, a little warrior defeated by a cruel twist of fate. But the kind hands and hearts at the rescue refused to let her give up. They lavished her with affection and helped her relearn how to be a cat on three legs.
The journey was a slow one, but Xena was a fighter, just as her name suggested. She learned to balance, to hop, and to even run with a surprising grace. Her missing leg became a part of her story, a testament to her incredible resilience.
Today, Xena is a champion of the rescue, a beacon of hope for every animal that comes through their doors. She is a shy, insecure cat and is afraid of people. But we hope that with time, she will learn that there are people who love her and that she can trust. We also know this process will require a lot of time and patience. She zips around the common area, her purr a rumbling motor of contentment. She might be missing a leg, but she is whole in every other way—a healthy, happy girl, loved beyond measure.
Our cats are provided to adopters in an appropriately sized means of transport. The adopter pays for this, and we pass on the purchase price. All adopters are responsible for paying for the transportation, flight, and any procedures that have not yet been completed.
The adopter must register the chip in their own name and update the data after adoption.
