Dilute Calico - Calico - Large - Adult - Female - Cat
Calico was abandoned in a home and supposedly being cared for by a family member. She was alone, and unfed and cared for we believe for 6 weeks. Therefore, she is overcoming some obstacles. Calico is a beautiful dilute calico, short hair. She is a female and we spayed her, tested her for feline aids and leukemia, wormed and flea treated her. She was given her distemper, leukemia and rabies vaccines. She is at this time somewhat cat food aggressive. She has overcome alot of her people food aggression, however we still recommend feeding her in an enclosed area (we use the bathroom) when we are eating. This keeps her occupied with her own meal while we enjoy ours. She doesn't bother us when we are cooking, and not when we are eating, but we have just developed this practice because of her prior circumstances. She eats minimal dry cat food, and we are feeding her canned kitten food. She will eat this and it will help her gain some weight. It took us forever to find a food she would eat, human as well as cat, and this is what she seems to eat without hesitation. We aren't sure if this is because she was so underweight and hungry or because she was fed people food in her prior life, but we are certain it may be a combination of both factors. We are working through this. We do not know if this will last a short or long time, but we do know it is a hunger response. We believe once she is certain food is always at her disposal, and she is safe and loved and cared for this may subside. However, we recommend proceeding with caution any way. She is very loving, purrs, wants to be petted, and is adjusting to this environment. She will take some time and patience but we feel she is absolutely worth it and NONE of this behavior she exhibits is her fault! Therefore, we recommend a home with no dogs, or children under the age of young adult. Now as we have gotten to know her better, we recommend NO other pets AT ALL. Her transition to safety will happen faster if she doesn't feel she has to compete for affection, food etc., Her adoption fee will be $125* and she MUST be an indoor only cat. * If you are willing to foster her in an environment with NO PETS and NO SMALL CHILDREN and an environment that is quiet, and give her further time to heal and trust, there is NO fee at all. SHE MUST come back to our shelter if you cannot keep her for whatever reason, or feel she has been rehabilitated and want to adopt her we will waive the adoption fee.
