Thank you to everyone who has donated so far. As of 1 pm this afternoon, we have raised over $31,000 and our match funds have been fully utilized! These funds will help ensure that we will be there for the animals, including those with special needs.
MEOW is proud to offer special needs cats the care and treatment they need, until they are chosen by that special family.
Meet Cisco
Cisco was left behind when his family moved, and soon after his rescuer brought him to MEOW he was diagnosed with a neurological condition called hyperesthesia. Hyperesthesia in cats is an extreme sensitivity, almost always on the back, most often right in front of the tail. Some cats may become suddenly aggressive and bite. Their pupils may dilate, their skin may ripple, they may drool, vocalize, or even urinate, and may self-mutilate.
Thankfully, Cisco has never exhibited these behaviors. What his fosters did notice was that he frequently acted uncomfortable, turning his head quickly toward his tail with a soft growl, and sometimes biting at himself. When this happened, he could easily be distracted and calmed by a soft voice or a gentle touch.
