This beautiful, extremely sweet girl is GiGi and she cannot wait to join her loving family! 💙
Our friends at Mikes Affordable Appliances have generously taken care of her adoption fee for her future family.
GiGi is about a year old and came to us in February from a cat rescue. When she arrived, she had a severe case of upper respiratory infection with conjunctivitis, a very clogged nose and matted fur down her back. It is safe to say she was not feeling well. We started her on treatments to help her feel better. She went into a loving foster home to continue her medications and receive the rest and love she desired.
Gigi came back to us in April from foster care feeling and looking much better, but still had a slight kitty cold. After running tests and making sure she didn't have a nasal polyp, we discovered she has a common feline condition called "feline herpesvirus" (FHV-1), which can cause occasional sniffles, watery eyes, or mild cold-like symptoms - especially during times of stress. The good news? It's very common in cats, only affects other cats (not people or other pets), and many kitties live happy, full lives with it. Gigi may have intermittent flare-ups, so her future family should be prepared to keep an eye on her symptoms and provide supportive care when needed.
Because of the FHV-1, Gigi would benefit from a calm, low-stress environment where she can truly relax and feel safe. A consistent routine and lots of love will go a long way in helping her thrive. Her adopter should plan to establish care with a veterinarian early on to keep her feeling her best and to stay on top of any flare ups.
If you adopt GiGi, you will get nothing but love in return from her. She is a huge fan of attention despite getting handled all of the time for medication and exams. She is such a trooper!
Come meet her today until 6 pm or Thursday/Friday from 12 - 5:30 pm at 3020 Hillegas Rd! 🐾
