Help us to end the tragedy of disposable animals and the killing of millions of healthy cats and kittens in our local shelters. Meet Skittles, our Mascot Skittles is a very unique and inspiring feline. When he was only a few weeks old, a screen door closed on him and damaged his spine. His hind legs and hips were rendered useless, and he had to have stimulation to urinate and produce bowel movements. He required 24hour care, a task the president Cynthia Moose readily took on when the severely injured kitten was placed in Meower Power care.
Skittles is now a happy, well-adjusted juvenile.
He still requires assistance with litter box duties and his legs are still useless, but he really is not bothered in the least. Due to the efforts of our wonderful supporters and all those caring individuals out there who made donations, it was possible for Meower Power to purchase a custom-built 'wheelchair' for Skittles. This chair uses a sling to support his hind legs and hips, and allows him to maneuver using his front legs. Skittles has been adopted by one of our wonderful volunteers, and has a happy and permanent home which provides him with the special care he needs. He has feline and human friends to play with and is one of the friendliest cats we have ever seen.
