My name is Gizmo C13682!

Hi, my name is Gizmo!

I'm an owner surrender from Minnesota!

From the foster:
Gizmo is a very easy going cat. She's affectionate and wants to be petted any time she's not eating or sleeping. She likes to sleep on the bed. She likes to get a treat or two at bedtime. Then she will snuggle by your side and want more petting. She likes to look out the window at the birds in the yard. She's a senior cat so she's not energetic. She likes her horizontal scratcher but has shown no interest in the cat tree, the kitchen counter or anything that requires higher than the bed. She's very easy to take care of.

She's a senior cat and I've been giving her canned senior cat food. She likes drinking from the tap in the bathtub. I live alone so I don't know how she will do with other pets or children. She likes to be petted but when she's had enough she will let you know.

Older cats often develop health issues. In her case it's Stage 1 kidney disease which is very common. It doesn't require any special care or food at this time. She does pee a lot. She was throwing up hairballs regularly so she's getting smaller meals more often and that seems to help. How she will do with kids or other pets is unknown but I think older children who know how to be gentle would be ok.


Medical Bio:While being looked at by the Veterinarian at SHH Vet Center, my urine was tested and found to be more dilute than is normal for cats and my kidney enzymes showed that I may have Stage 1 IRIS chronic kidney disease. No treatments or diet changes are required for me at this stage, but my future adopter should pursue annual care such as bloodwork and urine testing with a primary care vet.
