My name is Foxie!

This sweet little french girl is a special needs cat. She is always purring and so very loving. She is a playful kitten. Her special needs do not slow her down!  She was found stuck in a chain link fence. Due to the amount of time that she was stuck, there was nerve damage. After her initial exam, she was found to have no broken legs or spine. Foxie has difficulty using her back legs, but she is slowly getting stronger and using more leg power. She is able to use her back legs  if she has carpet. It is more difficult to get traction on hard wood floors or tile. Due to the nerve damage, she is also unable to squat when she uses the litter box. CATsNAP is working on modifying a litter box to better suit her needs. The vet said she had a  neurologic deficit which shows itself in a inability to always make it to the box to pass urine. She has no problem with passing her stool.  This may be related to her being trapped so long in a chain link fence with unbearable pressure on her bladder. We put pads around the box and are currently designing a litter box for her that will make it better . She has a slight tremor on her right leg.The problem is she finds it hard to squat.  The hope is that exercise and time will make the right rear leg more stable. However, there is so much life in this girl. After she was spayed the vet said no climbing, running or jumping and that was the hardest thing for Foxie to do! She wanted to move everywhere, climb everything and beat up on her friend.
