In late April 2023, Kareema was driving over a busy bridge when she thought she saw a dead kitten. But something in her thought, let me just stop and see if he really wasn't alive. And it was a good thing she followed her gut, she found a kitten that had most likely been hit by a car or motorcycle.
The kitten had a broken front leg and a tail that was almost completely dead. She took him and immediately took him to a vet to be checked. The kitten turned out to have severe anemia for which he was treated.
The next day the dead piece of tail was removed and the wound next to his tail was treated. His leg had already grown together wrongly, they couldn't do anything about that and they left it like that.
Kareema took the kitten to her own home to recover from all his injuries. Fortunately, the kitten recovered quickly and started playing with the other kittens at Kareema's home. The kitten turned out to be a male and was named Fonzie.
After a while he moved to 'the haven' to get stronger and grow up. In 'the haven' Fonzie made more friends and he turned out to be a very social cat, both towards people and the other cats and the cat-friendly dog. He grew into a healthy young boy, although with a deformed leg and without a tail but that did not bother him at all.
In December 2024, Fonzie thought he could finally pack his bags because he received an adoption offer. Unfortunately, that adoption was canceled in January 2025, through no fault of his own.
At the end of January 2025, Fonzie suddenly developed a swollen leg that also started bleeding. The vet then decided that his leg would be better amputated and this was done.
Like all SHE cats, Fonzie has received his vaccinations. This against common cat diseases and rabies. He is also chipped and castrated. Has received his deworming and anti-flea treatment. Fonzie is also litter box trained.
We attach great importance to the safety of our SHE cats. A SHE adoption cat must be an indoor cat. A very well-sealed outdoor space or cat run is of course also good.
As you can read, Fonzie has been through a lot in his short life. He has so much love to give, we hope that he can pack his suitcase soon and get his own forever home.
