From injured on the streets to happy at home

Dec 13, 2021

When three-year-old Jinx (formerly Kaleena) was found as a stray, she was suffering from painful, infected puncture wounds on her hips and at the base of her tail. Thankfully, our veterinary team was able to repair her wounds in the advanced surgical suites of our full-service Medical Center.

After a week of careful monitoring and healing, Jinx moved on to the PAWS Chicago Lincoln Park Adoption Center where it took just one day for her to find a loving home with Himani Thakkar!

What were your first few days with Jinx like?  

Jinx has been very sweet from the moment I saw her at the shelter. She let me pet her and she leaned in even more to rub her face on my hand. She stole my heart with her beautiful eyes. Once I adopted her, she would gently sit next to me and sleep on my bed next to me. I was very surprised by how comfortable she was around me. She wasn't very active in the beginning, but now she can't stop playing.
