Today's spotlight is going to be a little different. I'd like to introduce you to our special little guy, Henry. Henry is not available for adoption due to his medical needs and his complicated emotions. He will either be with us long term or will go home with a volunteer. He was found by one of our volunteers in a feral colony and she could tell something wasn't right so with the help of Critter Crusaders of Cedar Rapids he was brought here to us. Henry has a severe seizure disorder and takes several medications twice a day to help manage them. Despite all the medications, seizures are still a big struggle for him. When Henry first arrived at saint he was a very sassy boy who had to be held down to be able to medicate, but boy has he changed. Now for medicine, and we put a towel on him, hold him on his back, and ask if he is ready for nom noms. He takes them slowly while licking at his lips. We do think he has some blindness and possible brain damage also. He just wanders about the shelter not really caring who he walks in front of or who he upsets. He has recently been going for walks with some volunteers and just enjoys the sunshine and wind on his face.
Medical cases are something that we deal with often here at Saint. We depend solely on donations to be able to help cats like Henry. So for everyone who has donated, adopted from us, recommended us to friends, or simply shared a post to help promote us, we thank you! We couldn't give this kind of care without the support of all of you.
So to end this post, Henry would like to remind you that even tho he is not available, he has so many friends here who are. So if you're looking for your forever feline, please consider booking an appointment with us. We have cats of all ages, sizes, and colors and will do our best to help you find the perfect companion.
