My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Sissy is an 8-month-old special-needs female kitty who weighs 3 pounds 4 ounces. She is 1 of a litter of 3 kittens, the other 2 are perfectly healthy. Sissy appeared healthy and without any problems until she was about 4 months old when she just seemed to stop growing. She has been diagnosed with a condition called 'osteogenesis imperfecta' which is basically 'brittle bone disease.' Her bones could break with the smallest injury or could just simply break while she was walking around. Sissy is on pain meds and steroid therapy to hopefully slow this process down and keep her pain-free but there is no cure for this disease. She is a very sweet and loving kitty despite having this physical problem. She is very determined to keep moving around and simply not lie around and nap all the time. She likes to go out on the deck and lie in the sun too. One of her favorite foods is Oscar Meyer balogna, liking that even better than tuna or other types of fish. She loves having her fur brushed every night. I realize that Sissy most probably will not live a very long life, but she is making the most of this situation now, and I want to do all that I can to help her out. As long as she is willing to give it a try, I am willing to try to help her do that. If you would like to help Sissy with the cost of her meds or simply make a donation toward her care, just email us for contact information. Thanks
