Our girl Nicky's story started on the streets, like most Haven cats. The life of a street cat is full of dangers. In her case, the crucial danger was a collision with a motorcycle.
Her back legs were broken and she also suffered paralysis in her rear end.
There was a woman who would sometimes give Nicky something to eat. She noticed the condition Nicky was in and contacted Haven to ask if they could help. – And they could.
Nicky has now had months to regain her strength. And recover. She has lost her left hind leg. Her paralysis has not improved. But it could have been worse.
Nicky is fortunately mobile. See the video below. She can use her right hind leg to stand up. This allows Nicky to use the litter box. So she is independent.
Nicky has now received her vaccinations. This against common cat diseases and Rabies. Has had anti-flea treatment and deworming treatment. And is also chipped and sterilized.
So now she has become a three-legged girl who has to rely on her front legs to get around. She can crawl onto a chair but otherwise stays at ground level.
Socially Nicky is a bit shy at first. But after a while when she knows you and knows you can be trusted she is friendly and you can touch her.
She is good with other cats and cat-friendly dogs.
It seems obvious but we have to mention it; She must never be in danger again. Her adopter must be able to guarantee her a safe home.
If you would like to investigate whether adopting Nicky is an option, please take a look at our adoption procedure. And don't hesitate to contact us.
