Kayjo

My story

Kayjo ACCT-A-229034 is currently considered urgent and at risk of euthanasia due to medical concerns. Kayjo must have confirmed placement with a RESCUE PARTNER or ADOPTER by WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 20TH at 10AM. Should Kayjo's medical or behavioral status change, her urgency and timeline for placement may also change. Due to being significantly overcapacity with dogs and cats and higher than usual intake, extensions are unlikely to be granted. If you are interested in an animal please contact ACCT Philly immediately. Due to limited space, timestamps may also be proceeded with early so it is imperative to let us know if you are considering adopting or tagging a dog or cat. Kayjo is a gentle, senior lady who came to ACCT as a stray, when a member of  the public was concerned for her health and safety. Kayjo is a little unthrifty, but she has remarkably soft fur, and has quickly warmed up to our staff.  Kayjo has hyperthyroidism, which, while manageable with medication, is not difficult to monitor in a shelter setting.  Medical notes 8/15: BODY CONDITION SCORE (BCS): 4/9 FAS: 1/5 PAIN SCORE: 0/4 EYES, EARS, NOSE, THROAT: ceruminous debris AU, pruritic ears. nares and eyes clean and clear with no discharge OROPHARYNGEAL: mild dental calculus, no apparent oral masses or foreign bodies CARDIOVASCULAR: no murmur or arrhythmia, pulses strong and synchronous, MM pink and moist, CRT less than 2 sec, normal skin turgor RESPIRATORY: eupneic, lungs clear in all fields LYMPH NODES: normal palpation ABDOMEN,GI: soft and comfortable on palpation with no apparent masses RECTAL EXAM: Not performed UROGENITAL: normal external genitalia MUSCULOSKELETAL: normal gait, ambulatory x 4, brief orthopedic exam INTEGUMENTARY: mild area of alopecia along dorsal aspect of tail NERVOUS SYSTEM: Normal mentation, CNs WNL, no ataxia, brief neurologic exam Behavior: Allowed all handling Dx: - IH ear cytology: ear mites AU - CBC/Chem17/Lytes: hct 28.8 (L), plt 101 (L), creat 2.0, BUN 71 (H), Na 168 (H), ALT 327 (H) - T4: 5.9 (H) - FeLV/FIV/HW: negative Kayjo will need daily medicine and ongoing veterinary care for bloodwork and medication management, she also arrived at the shelter with an upper respiratory infection. Seniors also don't have an easy time in the shelter, and we would like to see Kayjo enjoy and recuperate in the comfort of a quiet home.    + Check out this video of Kayjo doing her best to NOT look into the camera:  https://youtube.com/shorts/Ew3LsRwjlBQ - ACCT Philly is located at 111 West Hunting Park Ave in Philadelphia.
