Why I need a new home

Human health issues (e.g. allergies, sickness)

My story

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


Romeo showed up during a bitter winter. Initially, I thought she was male, thus her name. She is a very small cat, which I think is the result of malnourishment during development. Romeo has been with me about 5 yrs, and is fully grown but is very small. She is docile for the most part, unless she feels threatened, so a slow introduction to other cats and dogs is essential. Romeo acclimated to 2 sisters in our home, which took about 6 months total. Now those sisters are deceased, and she is currently my only inside/outside cat.

When Romeo started coming around, it was clear that she had an extreme upper respiratory infection, which she will carry the rest of her life. About 2 years ago, a severe infection required a vet visit and a round of antibiotics, but once through with that, she bounced back very well. Romeo is playful and very social with humans.

I am a Stage IV metastatic breast cancer patient, and need to rehome my cats before I can no longer care for them.
