My story

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

A.J and her brother, P.J., were born on September 29, 2018.

When I got A.J. spayed, she was diagnosed with feline leukemia. Although she does not require any special medication, the veterinarian informed me that in order to maximize her life expectancy, she needed to be a fully indoor cat, because her immune system would not be able to cope with all the pathogens in an outdoor environment, and that she would have to be the sole cat, because she could potentially transmit her illness to another cat.

She is very well-socialized with people, and affectionate. She cries out for attention, and vocalizes in response to stimulus. Since she has gone from an large front-yard environment in which she had contact with her parents, brother and other siblings to an indoor environment in which her only contact is with one person, she needs exercise and attention.

She tends to climb or jump on chairs or desks or drag dust bunnies out from beneath furniture, so she may require some training.
