Hi there! My name is Gizmo, and I'm an 11-month-old bundle of love with a heart as big as my purrs. I may be young, but I’ve already been on quite the journey
I won’t lie; I’ve had a few health hiccups along the way. I was born with some special medical needs, but that doesn’t stop me from living life to the fullest! I have something called chronic kidney disease (CKD), which means my kidneys need a little extra TLC. With a kidney-friendly diet and regular check-ups, I can keep feeling my best for as long as possible.
Before I came to the shelter, I had a surgery called a subtotal colectomy because of something called congenital megacolon. Big words, I know! Basically, my colon was too big and caused tummy troubles, but the surgery helped a lot. I also had a bit of trouble with a narrow spot in my rectum, which made going to the bathroom a bit tricky. I had a procedure to help widen it, and while it’s better now, I still need a little extra patience and love when it comes to potty time. I’m on some medication to keep me comfy, and I’m doing well!
Despite all my medical adventures, I have a heart full of love and a playful spirit that will brighten your days. I am ready to thrive with a family who loves me just the way I am.
