Jambalaya

SEE YA, KIDNEY!

** My kidney was successfully removed on Thursday 4th September. I was cleared for adoption by the vet on the 12th! **

Please get in touch with the team if you'd like to adopt me, the best kitten in the world!

😸 Gets along with other cats and would be happiest in a household with a feline friend
🐶 Untested with dogs but would likely be fine with a gentle pup given a slow introduction
👶🏻 Would prefer to be in an adult only household (or with older, gentle kids)
🏠 Strictly indoors only (a fully enclosed, professionally installed catio is fine)
❣️ May be happy as a solo cat if you’re home often enough to give him lots of attention

‼️ Jamba will be at our next adoption day at Pet O Northland (Saturday 20th September)! Feel free to come along to meet a range of cats and kittens and find your ideal match – and if you pre-apply to adopt, you can even take your new best friend home on the day!

If you'd like to meet him, please submit an application (see below) – the more information you can provide about your household, lifestyle and history with cats, the better 🤗

Hi! I'm Jambalaya, and I'm ridiculous.

Cute. Sweet. Cuddly. Playful. Smoochy. Did I mention cute?

I mean, just look at my handsome face. And my blotchy little paws. And my sticky-uppy tail.

Something you might not notice, though, is that I have a golf-ball sized mass in my abdomen.

I've spent several weeks undergoing tests with the vet to see what's going on, which is an incredibly expensive endeavour.

My carers at Sugar & Spice have been doing everything they can to help me get better – and have been advised that the mass is my severely enlarged kidney, and it needs to be removed.

But I'm an otherwise perfect little kitten, and I deserve the very best chance at a happy, healthy life.

My siblings and I were born in an environment that wasn't able to give us what we needed. We had worms, and fleas, and flu – not ideal for a bunch of little kittens without much of an immune system yet. But we powered through, with the help of our carers – and now, my siblings have all found their forever homes, while I await news of what's next for me.

If you agree that I'm worth trying to save, please consider donating to Sugar & Spice (all donations over $2 are tax deductible) at https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/sugarandspicecat or via my GoFundMe at https://gofund.me/5849d17e. I'd be ever so grateful (and so would my carers).

With lots and lots of headbutts and snoot boops,

Jambalaya 😸
