My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

It is never too late for a second chance at a good life in a loving and safe home. Bamboo is a beautiful sweet calico. At only 6 months old she and her tortie sister were heartlessly dumped at a feral cat colony. After being trapped and on her way to being spayed, Bamboo escaped and ended up at the Lincoln Children’s Zoo. Bamboo lived outside from early fall of 2008 to March of 2009. She acquired her name from the plants where she was often seen sunning herself.

The zoo staff was able to catch her when they noticed she was slowing down and getting bigger. Bamboo was pregnant and went into foster care. She gave birth to two beautiful and healthy kittens who have since been adopted. From the beginning she was a very good and very protective mom! Now Bamboo needs a forever home of her own.

Bamboo has made a lot of progress in foster care. She is, and probably always will be, a shy kitty. Bamboo is not feral; but she is slow to trust humans. She needs a home where her family will be patient and let her come around on her own time. Bamboo loves yummy treats like Greenies®. She is very healthy, spayed, vaccinated, and about 1½ years in age. She has beautiful markings and sweet meows. Do you have room in your heart to give Bamboo a second chance?
