This black beauty was found as a stray and is currently in the care of PAWS Humane Society in Rockford, Illinois. Kendra is partially blind and declawed on all four paws. She had plenty to be angry about when she was turned over to the Society.
After some time in foster care, Kendra feels safe and is ready to love again. She’s gone from a hissy cat who hid into an affectionate girl who will hop in your lap and purr.
Kendra would do best in a home with no other pets where she’ll get all of the attention. Applications for adoption are being accepted here. PAWS is guessing Kendra is between two and three years old.
PAWS is unique because they take in animals that have special needs – whether they be medical or social – and work with them to place them in homes where they will get the extra care required.
They are also known to help in emergencies and recently took in cats and dogs as part of relief efforts for Hurricane Harvey. PAWS was also the lead agency in a large scale hoarding situation of 150 cats in December of 2013.
In 2016 PAWS placed 400 cats into loving homes.
I chose to write on Kendra because of the expression she’s giving in her photo. If she could talk, I feel Kendra would have an interesting story to tell. You can keep up with her journey to find a new home on her Facebook thread.

Were you able to find out anything on kendra?
Michael did an updated article. She was adopted. You can probably go to the search bar on the page and type in Kendra and it will come up.

I’ll check this out. Thanks for asking Melissa.
I have just contacted the rescue concerned on FB and hope for a speedy response.

Yes, Melissa. She was re-homed last Christmas. I believe that she is a nice caring home:

A good ending. I hope she has a really nice life from now on. She deserves it. Thanks for asking.
Who could have hated this black beauty so much to do this much torture to her? I hope she’s found a loving home.
OMC…Elisa, I just left a message on Petfinder, and Paws through Facebook. I have not been able to keep up with PoC. I am in love with Kendra! Do you think that they would allow a long distance adoption? I had no idea that you posted this story! Remember, my Nikki crossed the Rainbow Bridge? It was exactly 3 months ago today.😢💜💜💜
Frances, what happened? Did you get Kendra? Please post so we can know. I hope very much that you succeeded. Thank you. Happy New Year.
PAWS just rock!
Poor Kendra, the abuse that is declawing, is bad enough, but to be partially blind and stray too? I just don’t have enough profanities to describe whoever abused her that way.
Here’s to a wonderful human family coming along soon, to continue the excellent work of the rescue and fosterer.
please add me to your email list
Done.
