A picture of Jiya before she was subjected to such horrible living conditions.
According to records found at the breeder’s house and website, Jiya is a female Tortie point Himalayan that was born on 06/18/2019.
Jiya 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 horribly emaciated and weighed only 3.6 pounds, almost half her normal weight. She was matted and needed to be shaved in places to remove painful knots. Town and Country Animal Rescue of Omaha is seeing to her medical care and recovery. She is currently recovering from her ordeal.
Her foster parent reports that Jiya is a one person cat and will bond closely with that one person. She would not do well in a home with children. It may take time and patience for Jiya to learn to trust people again. She will get along with other cats, but she is a dominant cat personality, so she should not be paired with other dominant cats.
Jiya 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 Jiya, 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/)
