Rescue Me: Princess Sela, After Successful Eye Surgery, Needs A Home

FREDERICKSBURG, VA — Princess Sela, a gentle, lovely lady with a beautiful coat and an elegant gait, is available for adoption from the Fredericksburg SPCA.

The 5-year-old will have you bringing her the softest blankets in the land to lay on. And lay around she will. She is delicate and affectionate, seeking out any and all of her loyal subjects to shower her with precious pets and sweet kisses.

The Fredericksburg SPCA thinks this pretty princess may have slain a dragon or two because she came to the shelter a little worse for wear.

Princess Sela was seen in the Fredericksburg SPCA Locke Community Medical Center for her eye upon transfer to the facility. It was determined she would need total eye removal and has been recovering well in the care of the SPCA’s staff and volunteers at the shelter.

During her exam, it was found that Princess Sela has a heart condition called Pectus Excavatum, a malformation of the sternum that results in a narrowing chest. This condition can be surgically corrected in kittens, but since Princess Sela is 5 years old, it was determined the best thing for her will be to find a home that will fill her days with lots of (well-deserved) love as some cats may have no obvious associated clinical signs and will lead normal lives.

The Fredericksburg SPCA staff said it is happy to go more in-depth about Princess Sela and her conditions during any matchmaking sessions, so don't hesitate to contact the SPCA if you have questions.

Princess Sela is resilient, affectionate, and deserving of a perch in the sun and someone to call her own. She would make a great companion for a lonely heart.

Apply for a one-eyed princess today; Princess Sela's adoption fee is waived.
