When Taco first arrived at Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter, she was just a tiny kitten facing an uphill battle. Rescued alongside her siblings, all struggling with severe cat flu, Taco had an additional challenge to overcome. One of her eyes was severely infected, and after a thorough vet assessment, the difficult decision was made to remove it to save her from further pain.

Despite her rocky start, Taco’s spirit shone through. Under the watchful care of our team, she grew stronger day by day, proving herself to be a resilient little warrior. Taco’s playful personality began to emerge during her recovery, and it became clear that her missing eye would never hold her back. Whether chasing toys, exploring her surroundings, or curling up for cuddles, Taco embraced life with boundless enthusiasm.

Now, after months of recovery and countless vet check-ups, Taco has been given the all-clear. This brave girl is ready to find her forever home—a place where she can share her endless love and energy with a family who sees her for the remarkable kitten she is.

Taco’s journey reminds us that every animal deserves a second chance—could you be the one to give her this? Make an application here and this will be assessed early in the New Year.
