Foster cat`s bio for their adoption profile: Chickpea is a loving girl who loves to go on her harness in the summer and watch the birds and the flowers move in the wind. She is also a very loyal companion, she enjoys spending time with her fosters while they cook and do laundry, she is their shadow. Unfortunately due to her mobility issues as a kitten she uses biting as her way of communication. She likes being held and loves to receive pets but when she is finished with attention she has a tendency to bite and be rough. Recently Chickpea had a foster sister in her home, she was very loving towards the kitten but when the kitten got big enough chickpea had a hard time getting away from the kitten and was frequently overpowered. She does not do well with older cats, she frequently visits the vet where they have resident cats and she gets very defensive and aggressive. Additionally she has to receive a higher dose of her Gabapenton on days when she visits the clinic so technicians and vets can handle her.

Chickpea was born with club foot, As a result she has a lengthy medical history. She had an amputation in December of 2022 where they removed one of her back legs to give her more mobility. Although she is more mobile she still does not walk on all three paws. She has a lot of strength in her two front legs and drags her back leg. This has caused her to have a curvature in her back and tension in her lower back and gets laser treatments done once to twice a month at Orchard Veterinary clinic. In order for her to have pain management adopters must be prepared to continue her pain management routine. At her current vet clinic she gets chiropractic treatments which are around $70 and Laser whi

More about this rescue

Since 1996 SCAT Street Cat Rescue's prime focus has been feral cats because of the limited options available for them. TNR is a successful option instead of the traditional trap and kill. The majority of the cats rescued by SCAT, however, are socialized and available for adoption. As the city grows, so to does the need for our services. Adopt, Donate, Volunteer, TODAY!
