Kim Jasper loves checking out the animals at the Humane Society, but it seems when she does that, one of the cats out there, steals her heart. That was how Dana became part of her family. Dana was a mellow, friendly cat who loved Kim from the first minute she stepped into the cat room. Dana was adopted on St. Patrick’s Day in 2010, they estimate she was 3 years old then. She is a loveable cat, who puts up with most anything. She loves kids, dogs, strangers. Soon after she came home, she started having digestive issues. Dana spent a lot of time at Taylor Vet after she was diagnosed with megacolon, which causes constipation, abdominal cramping and is very difficult to treat. Kim tried all the treatments, Laxatone, enemas, other types of medicine, a major diet change, and Dana was just not getting better. Dana was such a trooper through it all. Finally after a lot of trial and error, they found the right combination of treatments that worked! Dana now gets medicine three times a day, and eats a very special diet mixed with canned pumpkin. She is a playful cat who loves to bring all her toys to Kim’s bed in the middle of the night and hides them in her shoes. Even though Dana is more high maintenance than most cats, in Kim’s opinion, being able to have her healthy and whole is a blessing that far outweighs the costs.
