My story

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

Ginkgo was born at the height of the COVID era in summer 2020. She was originally a “foster fail” because of how adorable and sweet and playful she was. She struggled with stomach sensitivity from kittenhood and had to change diets many times to find something that wouldn’t cause vomit or loose stools (eventually we settled on Hill’s z/d, but she would still throw up occasionally). I loved and cared for her for two years but eventually needed to rehome her because she developed a habit of biting me (and no one else) for attention, and when I became pregnant it was too risky to keep her around me, as I couldn’t keep taking antibiotics while pregnant (in the two years she had caused 4 bite-related infections that needed to be treated). I really struggled to give her up because she was so lovable aside from this problem, and I had tried every kind of intervention to change her behavior, with no success. Another family took her in for 1 year only and her behavior is now much improved.
