Neglected And Dumped By Her Previous Owners She Now Looks For The Love She Deserves!

She was abandoned by her owners because she was born with extra toes and different colored eyes!

Sansa, a beautiful snowy white cat from New York City was born with a rare condition known as heterochromia. This rare condition showed up by giving her two different colored eyes and extra toes.

Possibly due to her unique appearance, Sansa’s previous owners threw her out. As a result, this left Sansa suffering from extreme anxiety and panic attacks.

Thankfully Sansa was found by animal rescue staff and subsequently rescued earlier this year.

Her new owner Karen met Sansa at an adoption event. Her eyes were continually drawn to the cage that contained a cat called Snowy.

It was a cage that seemed empty but had a sign saying the cat inside suffered from anxiety after being neglected and then thrown out by her owners!

“Turns out the cage was not empty – she was simply hiding under the cat bed! I felt an immediate connection to her because I suffer from anxiety myself, and I knew that I wanted her to be a part of our family before I even saw her,” said Karen.

‘We were informed that her foster desperately wanted her adopted because she was so anxious that she needed to be kept in a carrier at all times,’ said Karen. 

Since that auspicious day, Sansa has attracted over 200,000 fans on social media, and much more importantly, found a home.

“Many people have expressed how much they love Sansa’s uniqueness with her different colored eyes and extra toes,” Karen added. 

Karen who works in a healthcare consultancy, helping patients with serious health concerns, says that she did not adopt Sansa because of her unique appearance.

Always scared, she would hide behind the TV and would only appear when it was time to eat. It was only later that Karen and her husband would find that Sansa also suffered from a condition known as Feline Hyperesthesia Disorder, a type of anxiety.

“Shortly after she came home, we realized that Sansa exhibited strange behaviors in which her back would ‘roll’ uncontrollably, followed by her attacking her tail multiple times a day,” said Karen.

“She seemed to be in pain whenever her back rolled and we could not understand why. We had never seen a cat do this before.”

“We recorded these episodes to show the vet and after some tests, she was eventually diagnosed with FHS.”

After they received treatment for the anxiety, along with CBD oil, Sansa’s anxiety receded, and she finally became queen of her domain.
