Kit Kat - Cavalier King Charles Spaniel (medium coat) Dog For Adoption

Please only apply if you have deeply considered what it will take to welcome one of these pups into your home. Kit Kat is an adorable, lovable, smart, playful lil girl. She's just as energetic as she is sweet! Considering her vision impairment, it did not take her long to figure out the layout of the rooms in her foster home. Although she was a little more independent the first few weeks in foster, she is now so comfortable in her environment. She comes running when we call her, and she's so loving and affectionate towards her foster humans. She loves to cuddle now! She will fall asleep on her foster mom or sister, but only after a lot of play time and running around. Kit Kat becomes so excited to greet us in the morning or any time that we come home! Not only does her tail wag so fast, so does her little body. When she's super excited, like when it's time to eat or go outside, she'll spin in circles as she walks. It's the cutest thing! She'll need a patient and understanding family, that will be dedicated to her training. Butterfinger and Kit Kat were recently diagnosed with congenital cataracts and were evaluated by Dr. Sisler at Eye Care for Animals. Currently they have 15%-35% vision. Because they are still young and their eyes are continuing to grow, the cataracts are progressing as well. Dr. Sisler has recommended re-evaluating them when they are a bit older to monitor any changes and determine the best next steps. In the future, they may require medicated eye drops, and there is a possibility they could develop glaucoma, though this is not certain. When they are approximately one year old, both puppies are expected to be good candidates for cataract surgery. This procedure is typically very successful and can restore vision. The estimated cost of surgery ranges from $7,000–$7,500. Several members of our group have had this surgery performed on their own dogs through Eye Care for Animals — including one over eight years ago — and all were successful, with their dogs retaining their eyesight. Based on this experience, we are hopeful about their long-term outlook. Furry Kids will be giving special consideration to applicants who are prepared to move forward with treatment if recommended. To help support their future care, Furry Kids will contribute $2100 (approx. 30%) toward the cost of surgery if it is performed by Dr. Sisler at Eye Care for Animals. Puppies are NOT housebroken and should not be expected to wait more than 1 hour for each month of age to go out to potty. Please make sure that you have a “potty plan” in place if considering adoption. All of our puppies have been spay/neuter, wormed, microchipped, and given age appropriate vaccinations. If you are interested in meeting/adopting one of them just fill out a application at .furrykidsrefuge, click on the 'Adopt A Dog' icon and a dedicated volunteer will be in touch. Furry Kids' Refuge is in need of good quality dog and puppy food with meat as the first ingredient.
