When we took her in she was a rack of bones covered in dirty fur with a miserable disposition. She is now over 7lbs sleeps on the pillows in between my fiance and I at night has the best personality of a rescue I ve ever seen and is ready to move on to her forever home. The vet has estimated her age between 6-10 years she is spayed up to date on all her shots and in perfect health. Her current diet is Blue Buffalo Wilderness a tablespoon of tuna or canned food in the morning and a small plate of milk at night. She s extremely playful for her age amazingly affectionate in spite of what she s been through and tolerates the other three fosters in our home. When she wants attention she ll sit at our feet and gently touch our leg with a paw. When we first took her in she would go nowhere near the door or windows and was terrified of the outdoors. She loves her window seat now and with time she may even feel comfortable enough to venture out onto a porch. We have noticed she is unable to jump she climbs onto the couch or the bed and the vet stated that she may have been hit by a car some time ago or have the onset of arthritis. It doesn t seem to bother her she chases a laser light like a kitten and doesn t mind being petted or brushed. But during the exam when the vet fully flexed her back legs (particularly the right) she responded with a painful meow and occasionally she chases her tail and growls. I wouldn t recommend a home with small children or dogs. Other cats are tolerated at best. Any questions or inquiries can be sent to Danielle (585) ---X or -----X(at)--- ... More Info
