I am one stunning girl. I may be a super senior who is 68 in human years, but I actually love to play. I love wand toys and it helps boost my confidence so it's a win-win. I am a cat who knows what I want, and it's one awesome retirement home! I am very sweet once I have settled in, in fact, I can't get enough cuddles and petting! #truerescuecat
About my Behaviour:
I require a very calm, very quiet home that will go slow with me. One that has a sanctuary room ready for me where I can slowly destress and then come out on my own time. It will take months for me to really settle in, but your patience will be rewarded with lots of love. I love to be petted, and I may in time be a lap cat; right now though, I am more of half of a lap cat. Meaning just my front half is on you; the rest is on the couch. I really want to connect with people, but it just takes me some time to learn to trust you.
I can get overstimulated, and due to arthritic pain, it's best to only pet the back of my head as well as watch my body language for when to stop petting. I can swat or bite if overstimulated or very stressed out; please be mindful of my body cues and keep my nails trimmed to keep from getting hurt. Medication for my pain and a chill, calm home will really help reduce any aggression as long as you respect my boundaries and stress level. My foster will provide you with lots of great info about that so you know what to look out for and how to keep me happy. I am great girl who just wants an amazing retirement home where I can love you for the rest of my life.
How’s my Health?
I am spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and dewormed. I am currently getting pain medication for my arthritis and doing well. I should not be free-fed, as it's important I don't get overweight. I did have a growth on my eye, but it was benign; recent blood work showed I am otherwise healthy besides my arthritis. Gabapentin may help me to settle in more quickly, but I prefer it compounded to chicken flavour rather than pills. It's quite inexpensive, and it also helps with pain management.
