Luna, formerly called Monkey, was required to Cats Protection’s nationwide cat adoption centre near Haywards Heath after being rescued at simply 6 months old.
She had actually been rescued with 8 other cats from a multi-cat household in London.
Investigations by the veterinarian group revealed that her left kidney and uterus had actually not formed usually, indicating that she just has one operating kidney.
Blood tests likewise revealed that Monkey had actually an increased leukocyte count, which suggests infection or swelling.
She received prescription antibiotics and a great deal of tlc, leaving her in in fairly health, however Cats Protection said it is possible that she might establish kidney illness in the future.
Happily, when Chris, Sam and their kids Max and Oliver from Tunbridge Wells spotted Luna on the centre’s website it was love at very first sight and they were not discouraged by her case history.
The family embraced their existing 17-year-old cat LouLou from the centre 9 years back. Having unfortunately lost their other older cat, Bruno, previously this year, they chose the time was ideal for a brand-new feline addition to their household.
Chris, who did not wish to supply a surname, said: “Despite learning of Luna’s health conditions, we connected with her straight away, and knew that we would be able to give her the same love and attention we have given LouLou to date.”
“Luna is a one off, that’s for sure.

“She has an abundance of energy and interest, and she fears definitely nothing – and nobody. Now she is heading out into the garden she is absolutely mesmerised by anything that flies and buzzes.
“The relationship between Luna and LouLou is going well, too, and LouLou is starting to accept Luna. They both have the freedom of the whole house but are often seen settled (fairly) near each other.”
Karen Thompson, deputy supervisor at the adoption centre, said: “Luna was with us for quite a while due to her health issues, so it’s just lovely to see her settled so happily into her new home. She is very affectionate and has the most amazing purr, which really stole the hearts of us all here at the centre.”
