Female Cat, Domestic Long Hair
Domestic Long Hair / Mixed (Long Coat)
Description:
Eight-year-old Willow and her house companion Devanna are so happy to be in the care of a foster family while they wait for a home of their own again. We are so blessed to have a devoted volunteer who saw a need and immediately acted on it in order to help two lovely cats find true happiness. Despite her fluffiness, Willow is quite petite. Her foster mom says she is especially fond of the man in the house, and likes to follow him around wherever he goes. she has begun playing with toys for short period, as if it’s something totally new to her. We look forward to watching her progression. “The girls” were adopted from FOAC several years ago, and we were surprised to find they had been surrendered to a neighboring open admission shelter rather than returned to FOAC. We were happy to get them back into our care and we are taking care of them so they will be able to find homes. Willow needed a quick groom after arrival because she was matted around her rear end and around her belly. (We have high praise for the vet assistants at Altavista Veterinary Hospital who were able to remove mats and take care of her without sedation.) it is always hard for senior cats to be brought into a shelter where they are put into a 2 x 2 cage and can’t move, and we hope that we can soon allow Willow to get out and move around more easily, and reunite with her sister. Willow would love to have a home where she can go and live out the rest of her years. She is current with her vaccines now, and is FelvFiv negative.
