History

Coco is a 17-year-old senior kitty — tiny, fragile, and incredibly strong.

She comes from a colony of cats in Câmpenești, where we are currently carrying out neutering and medical support efforts. Due to her advanced age and complex medical conditions, we made the decision to keep Coco in our care permanently, offering her safety and comfort for the rest of her life.

Her past has not been kind. Coco was attacked by dogs and most likely hit by a car many years ago. What we know for certain is that she needed care, safety, and compassion back then… but never received it.

Her body still carries the marks of everything she has endured.

Personality

Despite everything she has endured, Coco remains incredibly gentle.

She is a quiet, delicate soul who seeks comfort, warmth, and safety. There is a softness about her that speaks volumes — a quiet resilience, a will to keep going, and a deep need for love she was denied for so long.

She may be physically fragile, but emotionally, Coco is a fighter.

Behaviour Around Other Animals

Coco prefers calm and quiet environments without pets that are young and energetic. At her age and condition, she benefits most from a peaceful space without too much activity.

Behaviour Around Children

Coco prefers calm and quiet environments without small children. At her age and condition, she benefits most from a peaceful space without too much activity.

Health status

Coco’s condition is complex and requires ongoing care and monitoring.

X-rays revealed severe damage to her left knee, with changes that may even suggest a tumor. She also has an old hip fracture that never healed properly — part of the bone is displaced, and a fragment remains loose in the joint.

She has likely lived with chronic pain for many years.

In addition, Coco suffers from:

  • Severe spinal degeneration

  • An old sternum injury (fractured or displaced inward)

  • Lungworm infection affecting her lungs

  • Chronic constipation, likely due to pain when using the litter box

  • Advanced degeneration in her right hock, affecting mobility and comfort

Recently, Coco has also been diagnosed with bronchopneumonia and anemia. Given her age and unknown history, veterinarians are carefully monitoring her condition and have not ruled out possible underlying causes.

She is currently hospitalized, receiving daily treatment and constant care.

Coco is not available for adoption unless it is someone around our city that wants to offer her good care in her last years. She will remain under our protection for the rest of her life, receiving the care she always deserved.


She has started pain management and ongoing treatment, and we are doing everything possible to give her comfort and dignity in her senior years.


Her medical investigations have already reached approximately 800 euro, and costs continue due to hospitalization, treatment, and specialized care.
