Asia 
We're helping HEART Tokushima to find a
good forever home for Asia, while she's staying in foster care with Sharon. In
March 2010, at just 6 months of age, Asia was found frightened and
severely injured, wandering the streets of a small town in Tokushima
. Upon examination by a local veterinarian, it became apparent
that Asia had endured repeated long-standing abuse at the hands of
humans. One rear leg appeared to have been bound with string so
tightly and for so long that the leg had died and dropped off. The
other hind leg was so badly broken that it subsequently had to be
amputated. In an escalating pattern of abuse, Asia would be the
fourth kitten to be found with similar injuries in the area in early
2010. Another kitten would be found a few weeks later. All
five cats appear to be littermates, and police are currently
investigating the matter.
Despite the unimaginable torture she endured, Asia is a remarkably
friendly cat, greeting everyone around her with a loud purr. She
loves people, and is always in search of a lap to cuddle up
in! She is healthy and lives life not unlike any other
cat. Having
lost both of her back legs at the half-way point, she is still able to
rabbit-hop around using the remaining halves. Although Asia is
not able to jump onto or from high places, she doesn’t let this
limitation stop her from getting to where she wants to go. She is able
to get herself onto the couch, and has perfect litter box
habits. She gets along well with other cats, and requires very
little in the
way of accommodating her disability. After all she’s
endured in her young life, Asia still has an abundance of love awaiting
the family who will see her for the very special cat that she
is. Her survival has been nothing short of a miracle, but she will
need yet
another miracle to find her ‘forever’ family. Will
you be Asia ’s dream come true?"
Asia is a
lovely kitty with very soft fur and a heart of gold! JCN regularly brings kittens and
cats to
the Kanto area for adoption and fostering. Feel free to contact
us if you are interested in meeting available candidates.
