The News Life

After conquering a rare neurological condition, an incredible rescue cat is now in search of a forever home, ready to embark on a new chapter of life.

When Abigail, mom of Sticky, from The Milk Drunk Foundation in South Florida, asked if we would do a feature on Almond, an adorable tabby cat who has been searching for her forever home for nearly a year, we readily agreed! We learned that when Almond was rescued in August 2022 as a tiny kitten, she had encephalocele, a neural tube defect that causes a sac-like protrusion to protrude through an opening in the skull. While we’ve featured lots of cats over the year, including many with neurological issues, we’d never even heard of encephalocele.

Not only did we want to learn more about this relatively rare condition, but we also wanted to help Almond get adopted! Michelle Bucur, one of the founders of The Milk Drunk Foundation and Almond’s long-term fosterer, graciously agreed to answer our questions. We learned all about encephalocele, including what it is and how it’s treated, and we also got to hear how Almond and her siblings wound up at The Milk Drunk Foundation when they were just four weeks old. We really enjoyed learning about this very special girl, and we hope you do too!
