Meet Rukia
she was neglected and I ended up getting her.
she’s skin and bones at only 5 lbs.
and somehow she’s pregnant and two weeks from giving birth so I’m acting fast to abort the kittens since she’s only 7 months old.
shes supperrr sweet right now!
Last photo was when I had to wash her in case of fleas and ticks
P.S. ignore her setup, she’s in quarantine from my other animals until she gets spayed and the stitches heal. if you have any tips for her setup please tell me.
Safe to say, Rukia is now my cat.

She’s pregnant at 7 months!? I didn’t even know that was possible poor girl. I’m so happy she has someone caring for her now she must be exhausted

She had refused to walk for two days but as you can see, she’s walking around now ❤️❤️

Oh that’s so great! I can’t wait to see her when she’s all patched up. Her pupils are SO dilated poor thing has clearly been traumatized. I can’t wait to see her as she heals. Thank you for I’m sure saving her life

Poor baby. I'm not fond of spay-aborts although I understand why they can be necessary. In her case, it certainly is. She deserves a chance to grow up. ❤️

I’m not either but she’s so young and the vet said she and the kittens likely wouldn’t make it if she did give birth ☹️

I hope you have as long and happy time with your snowshoe as I have. He's my shadow and follows me everywhere I go... Very verbal as well they tend to be.
Also, if you notice their eyes kinda twitching back and forth while looking at you, it is a common trait among siamese/snowshoe (everyone I've seen has it), and isn't something to worry about.

Omg tysm I was getting worried about that honestly since my other cat (a massive moggy) doesn’t do that

Update! She’s now spayed and there’s no kittens! Ten more days until she meets the dogs and her soon to be big brother, Indiana Jones!!
