Truffles is a chubby declawed girl. Her owner died and she had nowhere to go. She has her own opinion about what she wants and can be a bit of a fussy britches at times.

Simon says what everyone else does. If you’re looking for a tattle tale this is your man. He’s sweet, cuddly and loving. He doesn’t mind kids or other cats but definitely wants a relaxed not so gossipy home.

Lyle has been diagnosed with Multi-Focal Chronic IVDD, which is basically a fancy way of saying that he has a slipped disc in his back. Because of this, he is currently on Prednisone and Gabapentin for pain. Lyle will need to be confined (no crazy physical activity) for the next 4-6 weeks. He likes to lay low anyways, since he is a senior, so this shouldn’t be much of an issue.

Lyle will need to be reevaluated in about 3-4 weeks. Animal Health will schedule this appointment for you. He will need physical therapy daily – this can be done at home for 20-30 minutes, 3-4 times a day. We have instructions from PVG which include applying a warm compress to his neck, back, and legs, massaging his leg and feet muscles, passive range of motion practices which will help his joint mobility and comfort, active range of motion practices, standing exercises, and sling walks. We will definitely give his foster more detailed instructions upon pickup.
