Let’s talk about Goldie. Goldie is 13 years old and let’s face it, isn’t going to be easy to adopt, but she certainly deserves a chance at a loving home. She’s friendly, sweet and lovely – until she’s not. Goldie's quirks make her unique. While she enjoys head, face, and chin pets, other areas, like her neck, tummy, back and paws, are off-limits, and she may let you know with a gentle slap or a little nip. But it’s not going to hurt. Girl only has one tooth left! She likes to rub her face against your hand and loves being scratched in the right places until she's had enough... Goldie has a great appetite and thoroughly enjoys gumming her mashed up wet food. She’ll even eat (or swallow?) small kibble. She plays well for a senior and when she gets the occasional burst of energy, she enjoys playing with mice, springs, small toys, the laser light and all kinds of other toys. But not for long. Sleeping is her favourite past time, in a soft bed or enclosed cubby. You’ll know how deep she’s sleeping by how loud she’s snoring. Goldie will keep you company silently, but nearby. She won’t be coming for snuggles any time soon, but she’ll be there with you. There’s also a really good chance she’s deaf. She doesn’t respond to sounds and will even let you vacuum her. Or maybe she hears everything, and just chooses to ignore you? Goldie almost never meows but will growl and grumble when unhappy (like if you touch her no-go areas). As can be expected with senior cats, Goldie comes with some health issues. She has moderate heart disease and may occasionally get snotty and congested. She takes a diuretic that she will most likely need for the rest of her life. As you can guess, Goldie must be the only pet in her home. Goldie's ideal home is one where she'll be understood and accepted for who she is—a sweet but occasionally grumpy senior cat who still has a lot of love to give. She may not be the cuddliest cat, but she'll certainly bring companionship and warmth to the right person or family.
Goldie was found outside, matted, dirty, covered in fleas. She had ingrown nails and was skin and bones. She was scheduled to be euthanized, but was rescued just in the nick of time. No wonder she’s cranky!
Goldie may be a grumpy little old lady but she is still sweet and friendly. She still deserves to have a comfortable and understanding home for her golden years. She will make a great addition to a home that is looking for some companionship, but not expecting a cuddly, snuggly cat.
Goldie's adoption fees have been covered by a wonderful supporter!
