Inquire about adopting me

We would like to take some time today to acknowledge the passing of one of NASAP’s finest. 

Taz was a Manx/Bengal mix that came into NASAP's care earlier this year. Taz was an extremely affectionate cat who had the funniest meow. At meal times, he could be heard making noises that almost sounded like "yum yum yum yum". He was a super quirky kitty and loved car rides and sitting on shoulders. 

Unfortunately Taz came to NASAP with a condition called spinal cord dysgenesis (not uncommon for Manx cats) which affected his nerves at the lower end of his spinal cord which transmit messages to the pelvic organs and hind legs. For a short time, prescription medication was able to help Taz. Unfortunately, his condition only continued to worsen and the medications were no longer working. After several late nights at animal urgent care and many veterinarian visits, NASAP's only option was to euthanize Taz. It was not a decision that was taken lightly and was based on recommendations of the multiple veterinarians that saw Taz and for Taz's quality of life. We fought tooth and nail for this little guy - doing everything we could for him. NASAP spent many of its resources (both time and money) to help Taz but unfortunately his condition was too severe. We were heartbroken, but ultimately made the choice that was best for him.

On August 11, Taz passed peacefully surrounded by the people in our organization that cared for him. While his time with us was cut much too short, Taz impacted the lives of everyone he met. Taz will never be forgotten by NASAP and touched the hearts of his foster homes and NASAP's cat intake coordinator. He will forever be missed and remembered. 

Rest In Peace buddy 🐾❤️‍🩹
