Having come into the care of the RSPCA Hants & Surrey Border in January last year after her owners could no longer care for her due to urinary tract infections believed to be caused by stress, Nala is looking for a forever home.
A scan by the vets revealed that she had a mass in her bladder and vets feared the worst but miraculously, a subsequent scan months later showed that the mass had completely disappeared and was believed to be a blood clot rather than a tumour.
Gorgeous Nala is on treatment for her cystitis and is doing much better now – and the RSPCA say she can’t wait to find her new home.

Liz Wood, Rehoming and Welfare Co-ordinator at the branch, said: “We had such a scare with Nala.
“She came to us as she’d been struggling with urinary infections caused by stress in the home due to young children and other animals, and sadly, poor Nala spent most of her time hiding in a cupboard in the kitchen and her owners realised this was not right for her.
“We took her in and did some investigations into her urinary problems to see if there was any underlying medical condition which may have caused this other than stress.
“That’s when the scan showed the potentially cancerous mass in her bladder. We were all heartbroken for her. We set out to make sure Nala, who is such a sweet and sensitive soul, had a comfortable life for whatever time she had left.

“She went into the care of amazing fosterers who understood that Nala may not have long to live and wanted to make her remaining time as perfect as possible.
“Then miraculously, a few months later, when scanned again, the mass had completely disappeared. We were all very relieved and started looking for a new home for her again.”
Nala is such a character and loves attention and will let out a big meow when she wants to fuss.
She will make a fantastic companion for someone who is ideally based at home on their own as she can be easily spooked and sensitive to changes in her environment which then leads to cystitis.
She is therefore looking for a home that is very quiet and stable, with infrequent visitors, ideally with lots of green space around that she can explore without coming across too many other cats.
She will need an owner who is happy to keep a close eye on her and seek treatment if her urinary issues start again.
She’d like to be the only pet and would prefer an adult-only home. She will need time to settle in but would like to go outside and explore once she’s settled.
