Hello, I’m Kodama! My foster parent named me after the tree spirits in Princess Mononoke because I have a permanent head tilt. I am a special needs kitty because I am both deaf and immunocompromised. I was found on a freezing autumn night outside a hotel, and the vet told us I had FIP. Although FIP is nearly always fatal, my foster parent and the rescue did not give up on me! They began the rigorous process of helping me heal, and after many treatments, I am happy to say I am doing amazing!! 

 

Despite my rough beginnings, I am a ball of energy! My foster parent thinks I have the energy of 3 kittens sometimes! The only kitty in the house who can roughly match my playfulness is Last Day Dog Rescue foster and my friend, Kabuki! Sometimes Erebus will play with me, too. Because I am deaf, I have trouble picking up on clues when I play too rough. Please be patient with me. If I get too riled up or accidentally bite, please distract me with a toy, and I will be happy to pounce on that!

 

I require a home with no children as I am a master escape artist, barreling through doorways, jumping into danger (like an open oven!!), and generally testing the limits of my 9 lives. That said, my favorite thing to do besides play is cuddle! I will fall asleep on your lap while you play games and curl up in your arms while you sleep in bed. I love being carried around in a sling, too! Washing the dishes? I'll help! Folding the laundry? I'm in!

 

I am enjoying the second life I was granted, and I would love to find a permanent home with one or more of my kitty friends. I just need to find the right family who are comfortable with my medical past and willing to put in the effort to care for an immunocompromised baby with a penchant for getting in some trouble!
