On November 11, 2019 a 4-week-old paralysed kitten He was covered in fleas, underweight, covered in faeces, and completely paralysed from the waist down Renley's paralysis was unknown, Renley had x-rays and an ultrasound of his spine. Luckily there was no fractures. This was an indication his paralysis is likely caused by a neurological condition. Despite everything Renley was going through he wasn’t in any pain. With the help of Dr. Avinder at Lower Plenty Vet Clinic in Victoria, Australia, Renley started having daily acupuncture treatment and home physical therapy.
At 4 months old Renley started to walk and has 80% mobility, He continues to amaze me each day. Sadly at 4 months old Renley became extremely unwell and tested positive for FeLv- Feline leukemia virus. This may mean Renley’s life span will not be long.
Being a foster carer is deeply rewarding — the ability to give life, love and warmth. Renley means so much to me, as do all my foster kittens, but Renley has been able to show me the meaning of courage, determination, and happiness. I will value and cherish this for the rest of my life. Nothing is impossible the word itself says I’m possible.
Renley and Jessica (VIC)
