FEATURED PET: SADIE

Sadie's story began at an animal shelter. She came into the

shelter VERY PREGNANT and was taken into foster care by

our rescue group. She gave birth to five kittens, four of

which survived and were diagnosed with a disorder called

Cerebellar Hypoplasia (CH). CH affects the kitten's

cerebellum development, which can cause mild to severe

difficulties with coordination and walking. They most likely

were affected by CH because momma Sadie did not receive

proper nutrition or was injured while she was pregnant.

Sadie is healthy, however, and is a very sweet and loving

girl - quite a snuggle bug, actually. Now that her kittens are

weaned (as we work to find special homes for these special

needs kitties), she is ready to find a loving home of her very

own. She is housetrained, spayed, and UTD on shots.

Adoption donation of $50 covers the cost for for the

spay/vaccinations. Please help give Sadie a new start on

life. For more information, please email

stacymdbaker@gmail.com or contact foster mom,

Wendy, at 276-523-5097.
