 Angel
is a young short-hair cat who came to Journey's End when she was around 1
year old. She was born with neurological problems that cause her to be
unable to balance or to walk steadily. (Sometimes these problems are
thought to result from the mother cat being vaccinated while pregnant,
but we don't know if that happened with Angel's mother.) She stumbles around
quite a bit, but
eventually she gets where she wants to go, and she has never injured
herself. She lives in an all-cats room in the main house.
Angel was brought to us by a man with severe heart trouble who had more
than 30 dogs and cats. He was told he needed heart surgery, but that he had
only a 50/50 chance of surviving it, so he declined the surgery. He then
drove all over Florida to place his animals in no-kill shelters. Angel
was the last one to find a home.
Angel can usually sit without falling over ...
... but walking is difficult for her.
