A picture of Jing before she was subjected to such horrible living conditions.
According to records found at the breeder’s house and website, Jing is a female blue long leg Minuet that was born on August 27, 2021. She is currently three years old.
Jing was taken on by Town and Country Animal Rescue of Omaha as a foster case the night she was brought out of the hoarding house. There, she was kept in a cage for unknown how long and neglected, given either no food or minimal food for at least a month. She was our worst case emaciation, weighing only 1.86 pounds. She actually weighed less than a 12-week old short leg Minuet kitten does when it goes home. Skin and bones is an understatement to describe her condition. She was considered to be on death’s doorstep when she was taken in by the more experienced Town and Country Animal Rescue personnel. She is suffering from a parasite burden, herpes in the eye, anemia, and an upper respiratory infection. She will need to undergo long-term medical care and recovery before she will be available for adoption.
Her foster care givers reports that Jing is timid and they are more focused on her health care to worry about what kind of home she will be best suited for. Our prayers are with Jing that she recovers quickly and fully.
Jing is still being cared for, so we do not know if she will need any long-term medical care when she goes home. We will know this for sure when she is available for adoption.
If you might be interested in adopting Jing, please fill out an application. Or you may contact Town and Country Animal Rescue of Omaha directly to discuss her adoption from them. (https://townandcountryanimalrescue.org/)
Jing, the night she was rescued, being weighed. She weighed an incredibly mind-blowing 1.86 pounds. In comparison, a short Minuet at 12 weeks old will be 2 pounds. Jing is a tall Minuet.
Jing being bathed the day she was rescued. She was so infested with fleas, blood poured off her during the bath.
