* Ophelia found her forever home with lovely people and another kitty to be friends with! Woot! *

Ophelia ended up at Hamilton Animal Services as a stray. She had a prolapsed rectum, so she was sent to the shelter’s vet for treatment, then sent back to the shelter to wait out her stray time. Nobody came forward to claim Ophelia, and the shelter reached out to us for help.
We got Ophelia out of the shelter and took her straight to our vet where she’ll be observed for a couple of days before being moved to a foster home. Our fingers are crossed that Ophelia will heal without issue.
We’ll post an update once Ophelia is settled in her foster home.

Welcome to Ladybird, Ophelia! We’re so happy you’re here!

June 27/24 UPDATE #1
We had been planning an update about Ophelia to tell you she’s been doing great in her foster home since being released from an extended stay at the vet. But unfortunately this morning, her bum prolapsed again. ☹️
She’ll have a more extensive surgery today to repair it, and she’ll be spayed at the same time. We are hopeful that this one will do the trick.
You got this, Ophelia!

June 27/24 UPDATE #2
Ophelia did great for her surgery and she’s back in her foster home now to recover. Fingers crossed her wee bum will stay put this time so she won’t have to go through any more surgeries like this.
Way to go, Ophelia!

July 28/24 UPDATE
Ophelia is all healed from surgery, her butt has stayed put, and she’s ready to find her forever home!
Here’s a note from her foster family:
“This is Ophelia! She’s a sweet & curious little lady who will work hard to get (and keep!) your attention. She loves to be picked up and held but she forgets that until she’s in your arms falling asleep. Otherwise she will be running after her toys or her new cat friends. With her mild FOMO (fear of missing out) she will cry out to find you and greet you with her best Halloween cat impression. Ophelia has overcome her prolapsed bum issues which has given her new energy and and healthy appetite. She likes to play with her foster siblings and would do best in a home with other healthy and playful cats or patient dogs.”
