Forest is a special little guy. He was found alone in a garden with his brother Chaz and immediately we were able to see something was wrong with his back legs. They were very weak and he would drag them behind him. However, despite his disability, he always pushed through and was always the sweetest kitten.
We don't think he will ever regain use of his back legs but he does have control over his bladder and bowel movements so he doesn't need any help there. He will need to wear diapers as he recently had issues with his pee getting on his legs and scalding him. He can't use his back legs at all but he scoots around just fine with his front legs and quite quickly too! He will also likely need a wheelchair to ensure his back end isn't rubbing on the floor. Due to his recent medical challenges it is possible he will need a perineal urethorostomy when he is older.
We haven't been able to work out a litter box that suits him so, he just uses puppy pads and diapers can work if they aren't kept on him wet for too long. He's a spunky little thing, he loves being held and cuddled and is also very adventurous. He doesn't let his disability stop him from doing anything!
His adoption fee includes everything involved with getting him to you (rabies vaccine, microchip, vet health certificate, airline fee, adoption fee and carrier).

More about this shelter
We are a small animal shelter and rescue in Jamaica. We're run completely on donations and we have over 170 animals in our care. We began in 2009 to try and help stray animals across the island get off the dangerous streets and find forever homes or live out their lives with us. We sent 144 dogs to Canada in partnership with Save our Scruff at the beginning of 2021 and we've sent many others away to individual homes also. We work with people with existing reservations to transport the dogs or cats to the states or Canada. We also work with people who come to Jamaica and want to adopt one of our rescues to take home when they leave. We're a no-kill shelter and we take in more than we adopt out. Unfortunately local adoptions aren't common so we rely on international adoptions primarily.
