Joe
We all know that animals have an amazing resilience when it comes to overcoming obstacles and still finding infinite joy in life, Joe is a shining example of this. Our exceptional boy was hurt in an accident with a car when he was just a few months old and his family was financially unable to provide the needed medical care he desperately needed. They worked hard to make his life as comfortable as possible and to provide him with the basic needs to survive, but he needed immediate surgery to repair the damage, in order to keep his organs from adapting to their new position inside his body.
By the time a good Samaritan noticed him and brought him to Meow Village, it was too late to heal his physical injuries. Miraculously, it didn’t do any damage whatsoever to his loving heart, his enormous spirit or his overwhelming desire to live as normal a life as possible. When you meet Joe, it’s clear to see that he is determined to show the world that he has what it takes to not only survive, but to thrive and live his life to the fullest. Joe is filled with warmth and enthusiasm, not to mention the fact that he has mastered the art of biscuit making on a whole new level. He’s playful, funny, easy going and never fails to light up any room he gleefully scoots into.
Cats are naturally drawn to Joe because he exudes kindness, super snuggling powers and the willingness to make friends easily. Joe is charming beyond words and humans of all ages will find him simply irresistible. Being a special needs kitty does require that his family be willing to help a guy out now and then on some of the basics, such as expressing his bladder and working on how to best manage his poop routine, since he cannot navigate a litter box. He’s willing to wear pull-ups and see how they work out, but from time to time he would like to live naturally naked, please. His ideal situation is going to be with a parent that stays home during the day and understands that it’s a commitment of love that will be returned ten fold.
Joe will never give you grief about trying new things and working together on making his life easier, he’s filled with gratitude for being given a second chance and never misses the opportunity to freely show that. The fabulous team at Back on Track Veterinarian Rehabilitation Center (www.botvrc.com) has provided Joe with the coolest set of wheels this side of the Daytona 500 and he would welcome the chance to show you why they call him Turbo Joe. He admits that on some days he prefers to the scoot over the roll and doesn’t want you to take that as a setback, he’s just mixing things up a little.
