My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

***In order to alleviate the need to bring an animal into the shelter environment, The Anti-Cruelty Society has the Home-to-Home Shelter Bypass service to help people find new accommodations for their pets privately. These animals are not located in any of the Society's physical locations. If you are interested in adopting this animal, please do NOT click the Adopt Me button and instead reach out to the current owner directly via the email provided in the profile. As this is a Home-to-Home animal you are not required to fill out an Anti-Cruelty Society adoption application form.***

he animal's behavior around other pets; she is very friendly with our dog, and tolerates another cat. They will sometimes sleep together, but the other cat is perfectly healthy and his play often upsets Nim.
The animal's behavior around children; Has never had an issue around children or other people (very cuddly), but has not been around children often.
Any past or existing health issues that the animal has had; She has an unidentifiable intestinal issue. After 2 years and around $10000 in vet bills, we still cannot discover the source of her constant diarrhea. She is active during the day, is happy and playful, eats all her food, but holds her abdomen and hind legs somewhat gingerly and seems to be in minor discomfort most of the time. She has not had a solid poop for over 2 years. We have tried anti/pre/probiotics at different stages, gradually moving her to hypoallergenic food - then limited ingredient - then specialty over long periods of time, had a few teeth removed that could have been causing issues, and more, but nothing has seemed to help with the diarrhea. Her fecal and blood tests have come back with "healthy" results every time. She gladly eats all her food and drinks lots of water, but needs to be within a room of a litterbox at all times currently. My working theory is that there is something wrong with her spine or bone structure that may be pinching her intestine, but I cannot afford an X-ray at this time.
Any medication the animal may currently be taking; We have tried multiple medications but they always exacerbated the issue - she currently is on none.
Any dietary restrictions that the animal may have; She eats Rayne nutrition Rabbit-MAINT and sometimes their kangaroo diet. She loves the stuff and will not throw it up. She may have a poultry allergy, as any chicken food will cause her to throw up most likely. She also will usually throw up dry food if eaten in a large quantity.
The animal's training history (especially whether or not the animal is housebroken); She tries to make it to the litterbox every time, but only has about a 90% success rate. She is spayed and microchipped.
