When Dannielle Southon, the founder of Southon Rescue, learned about a seven-week-old kitten with Manx syndrome who was at risk of being euthanized at a county shelter, she knew she had to help the young special needs cat. “[She] was a ‘Same-Day-Out’ animal,” says Dannielle, “meaning she needed to leave the shelter the same day because of her Manx syndrome and issues.” Dannielle had already adopted Ceb, a black and white and cat with Manx syndrome, so she felt confident would be able to give the tiny tabby kitten the special care she required.
On August 19, 2021, Dannielle collected the adorable special needs cat from the shelter near her home in Winter Park, Florida, naming her Minerva, or Minnie for short. “I had been on a Harry Potter kick, and her full name is Minerva McGonagall,” explains Dannielle.
Like Dannielle’s cat Ceb, Minnie was born with Manx syndrome, a condition that causes some cats with absent or shortened tails to have a form of spina bifida, a developmental spinal abnormality that can result in incontinence and partial hind leg paralysis.
