My story

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

Leela is a 16-year-old, indoor-only female calico we’ve had the pleasure of caring for for the last six years.

She is extremely personable and loves people. She gives kisses/licks, loves snuggles and pets, and is the first one to greet guests at the door.

Leela can tolerate other cats (she has three siblings right now) but prefers to be the queen of her castle. She mostly avoids loud kids but is never aggressive or defensive, even with the rowdiest children! She is litter trained and is not destructive, and has absolutely no behavioral issues.

As an old lady, Leela has developed hyperthyroidism and has responded well to oral methimazole treatment.

I am currently pregnant with our second child and unfortunately am having difficulty meeting her care needs. At this time she needs to be dosed with medication twice daily, and does require frequent brushing as her medication increases her shedding.

Leela would be a wonderful companion for anyone looking for a low-key cat!
