About Hazelnut - Located in Clifton Hill
HAZELNUT:
As Guns ’n’ Roses sang “She's got eyes of the bluest skies” and it’s said the benefits of hazelnuts include a boost to the health of your heart…this couldn’t be more true for this beautiful girl.
Hazelnut came to us as a super timid girl who took a while to trust that humans can be kind, she has come a long way in the last month and shows us her true personality more and more each day.
Once she settled into her environment she loves to play, eats like a trooper and will come for the occasional head nudge and rub. She has started to show interest in sharing the sofa with people but on her own terms and for short bursts…at the moment this princess is not a lap cat but anything is possible with time.
She will flourish in a patient environment where she has time to adjust to her new home and feel safe and protected. She is currently housed with another foster cat and while she tolerates her housemate, she would probably prefer to be an only child and definitely not into dogs…sorry pups!
Hazelnut is a Snowshoe breed which like Guns n’ Roses means she can be quite vocal at times but then who isn’t!
Hazelnut has previously had all of her teeth removed due to dental disease. She has low level Inflammatory Bowel Disease. Currently her symptoms are very mild and the vets believe her occasional flare ups are caused by a build up of hair in her system, as her wet food diet does not help push the hair she consumes when grooming through her system the way a high fibre dry food does. Flare ups can include occasional vomiting or soft stool.
To help her sensitive digestion and reduce her symptoms, she has to be given a micro dose of anti-inflammatory/antibiotic medicine every morning and will require a sensitive soft food diet. She is also on probiotics long term, these are easily mixed into her wet food.

Medical notes
She has no known major health concerns, however is missing all of her teeth and this can
mean she finds it difficult to eat hard foods which would usually help break down the hair whilst she grooming herself.
To help her sensitive digestion, she has to be given a micro dose of anti-inflammatory medicine every morning and will require a sensitive soft food diet.
