Meet Hershey (aka Hershel) – Your Perpetual Kitten!
Name: Hershey (Hershel)
Age: Baby Kitten
Rescued On: April 1 He is now 4 months old
Current Weight: Growing steadily with love and care
Background: Hershey's journey began on April 1 when he was found alongside his brother and mom. Right away, it was clear that Hershey was much smaller than his sibling, sparking concern among his rescuers. Despite our best efforts, Hershey wasn't growing or gaining weight as expected, and even our dedicated vets were initially puzzled.
A Miraculous Turnaround: Thanks to the incredible team at Main Street Veterinary Clinic in Cornelius, Hershey's mystery was finally solved. Dr. Manzie remembered a rare case study about hypothyroidism in kittens and decided to test Hershey's thyroid levels. The results showed a thyroid hormone reading of zero! With a simple and inexpensive thyroid medication given twice a day, Hershey's life took a miraculous turn.
Thriving and Full of Life: Now, Hershey is thriving under the loving care of his foster mom. He’s growing, eating well, playing joyfully, and embracing the playful spirit of a typical kitten. While Hershey may always be smaller than average, this only adds to his charm—who wouldn’t love a perpetual kitten?
Personality: Hershey is a bundle of joy and energy. He loves to play, cuddle, and explore his surroundings with curiosity. His petite size makes him extra adorable, and his resilient spirit is truly inspiring. Hershey's playful antics and affectionate nature are sure to bring endless happiness to his forever home.
Ideal Home: Hershey is looking for a loving home where he can continue to thrive and receive the care he needs. He would do well in a household that appreciates his unique story and is committed to giving him the love and attention he deserves. Whether you’re a family, a couple, or a single individual, Hershey will make a wonderful addition to your home.
Health: Hershey’s health is well-managed with his thyroid medication, which he takes easily and without fuss. This small daily routine ensures that he remains healthy and happy.
Adopt Hershey: If you're ready to open your heart and home to a special kitten with an incredible story, Hershey is waiting for you. His journey of resilience and love makes him a truly unique companion. Embrace the joy of having a perpetual kitten in your life—adopt Hershey today!
