My story

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

Please do not send inquiries. Ghost can be visited at PetSmart in Carmel/Westfield (14720 Greyhound Plaza) during store business hours. Applications are available at the store.

Licorice was originally adopted from us in May 2020. Licorice had been trapped at a feral colony feeding site. She was immediately taken for spay/neuter. She was spayed and stayed with us for extended recovery time since she was pregnant at the time of spay. That's when we found out she is not feral, but is the sweetest little shy cat! Unfortunately, Licorice was picked up by an Animal Control Officer and taken to the Humane Society with an eye injury this past summer. Thanks to her microchip, she was returned to us. We were unable to contact the adopters.

Licorice's eye injury turned out not to be an injury, but Eosinophilic Keratitis, a possible symptom of Feline Herpes Virus (which 90-95% of all cats have). Licorice will need an eye drop once daily for the rest of her life to keep the eye from clouding. (We will send her with the bottle we have, and instructions to get more. Approximately $68 per month.) We have developed a routine with her that we give her the eye drop, then a can of cat food, warmed with hot water. She does great!

Licorice should be okay with other cats as long as they don't bully her. We do not know how she would do with dogs. She is not fond of being picked up, but loves attention and talking to you. She can be temperamental and may swat at you, but then she forgives you and wants attention again. Because of this temperament, we recommend placement with older children (over 12).

Licorice is currently eating Kirkland Cat Maintenance kibble and one can of Friskie's pate (various flavors, hot water added) daily. She's put on some weight, but should slim back down with more activity.

Licorice is now 6 years old, spayed, updated vaccines, microchipped and re-tested negative for FIV/FeLV.
