Chom is a male gray tabby kitten that came in as an owner surrender. Owner stated that she rescued Chom and his sister 2 months ago and was able to give his sister away but decided to keep Chom. She came in to ACC a week ago requesting help when she noticed that Chom might be sick. She was able to get a PIC grant and was sent to Lefferts Animal Hospital. There, she received medication. She also stated that Chom has trouble passing urine on his own and needed to be stimulated to go. The hospital visit also revealed that Chom’s spine is broken. Owner came back today to surrender Chom because he has not made much improvement. She stated that she has cancer and is having an extremely hard time caring for both herself and Chom.

Owner stated that Chom is relaxed, affectionate and playful will children. He has not interacted with dogs or any other cats besides his sister. Due to his medical condition, he was not litter box trained. Owner kept Chom indoors only. She stated that he has a very high activity level and described him as playful, friendly and affectionate. Owner stated that she would often clean Chom with a wet wipe or wet sponge and he did not mind it. When she is home, Chom tends to follow her around and be in the same room as her. He was eating Nine Lives and Meow mix dry food.

Upon intake, Chom was not handled and was sent straight to medical.
