Adopt Chai (spinal injury)

Female · Young · 2 years

Meet wonderful Chai… Neuter status : Spayed March 26 Breed : Domestic Short hair (Arabian Mau) Weight : 2.9 kg Rescue Story in brief : She survived the unimaginable. Now she just needs someone to give her a chance. Chai was rescued on January 31, 2026, after being run over two days earlier outside a labour camp. The laborers who found her could not afford the veterinary care she urgently needed, but they did not turn away. They kept her safe inside their labour camp, protecting her while she lay injured, waiting for help. They knew of a rescuer who regularly fed cats in the area. When they finally saw her, they approached her and asked if she could help the injured cat. That moment is what changed Chai’s fate. She was immediately taken to a veterinary clinic where X-rays revealed the severity of her injuries. Chai had a broken spine. During her examination, it was also discovered that she was suffering from severely rotting teeth, which must have caused her significant pain long before the accident. Her journey became even more difficult when she tested positive for parvovirus. Her spinal surgery had to be delayed for approximately fifteen days while she fought the infection. She survived. Once she was strong enough, she underwent spinal surgery along with dental treatment. Since then, she has been undergoing physiotherapy. Unfortunately, she has not regained her mobility. Despite everything she has endured, Chai remains incredibly loving. She seeks attention, enjoys being close to people, and responds with gentle affection. Her spirit remains soft and hopeful. Chai is now fully vaccinated and ready for a forever home. She needs a compassionate family who understands the care required for a special needs cat, including bladder expression, and who will give her the love and dignity she deserves. Cats like Chai are extremely difficult to place locally, yet she deserves more than a life confined to a cage. The rescuer is willing to arrange relocation anywhere in the world at their own expense so that Chai can finally experience a loving home where she can thrive with a family. Chai has already survived being run over. She has survived parvovirus. She has survived surgery. She has survived pain. Now she just needs someone to choose her. Health or disability details: Paralyzed. Needing her bladder expressed. Temperament details : Extremely friendly and loving.

About Chai (spinal injury)

What life with Chai (spinal injury) looks like

Chai (spinal injury) is a small young adult cat waiting at Miracle in United Kingdom.

An adult cat usually shows their personality within a week. Give them a quiet room with everything they need (food, water, litter, hiding spot) and let them choose when to explore. Don't force interaction — every cat decides for themselves when a new home counts as home.

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Chai (spinal injury), answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Chai (spinal injury)?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Miracle handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Chai (spinal injury) on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Chai (spinal injury) if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Miracle will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Chai (spinal injury) already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most cats on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Chai (spinal injury) isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Miracle early rather than rehoming privately; they know Chai (spinal injury) and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
