Ophelia Needs Your Attention and Care

Ophelia is 5-year-old snow white cat who came to PAWS Chicago with what is called a tail pull injury. Ophelia’s injury could have been from a multitude of things— she may have been hit by a car or her tail might have gotten stuck in something. But unfortunately, this injury did paralyze her tail and left her incontinent.

The most important thing to know about Ophelia is that she has an endless amount of love to give. She’s one of the sweetest and most affectionate cats the PAWS Team has met. If you sit down for even a minute, you’ll find Ophelia in your lap, purring, making biscuits, and slow blinking a thousand “I love you’s” with dazzling green eyes. Ophelia doesn’t need help going to the bathroom, but she does wear a diaper that is changed every few hours. If you have room in your home and your heart to welcome and care for Ophelia, the PAWS Chicago adoption team can walk you through what her care looks like. But come on in to our Lincoln Park Adoption Center and see for yourself how amazing Ophelia is.
