Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Meet Galinda, the fabulous feline diva with a twist of whimsy! Galinda, the sassy 7-year-old Chicagoan, strutted into our lives from the Windy City, and she's here to make your heart sing - in a solo performance, of course. Why? Because she's the star of her own show and prefers to have all the limelight! Galinda may have been handed the news of Feline Leukemia Virus, but she's not letting that rain on her furry parade. In fact, she's determined to live her best nine lives and prove that a diagnosis is just a minor plot twist in her captivating tale. With a personality as relaxed as a cat in a hammock on a sunny day, Galinda will enchant you with her laid-back charm. She might not be a lap cat, but she'll be your loyal companion, curling up at the foot of your bed each night, sharing dreams and maybe a purr or two. Kids? She loves them! She's all about those chin scratches and chin-wagging about life's mysteries. Her obsidian fur is smoother than a smooth jazz solo, and she takes her litter box duty as seriously as a Hollywood star preparing for a red carpet event. Don't worry about her getting too curious about your dining table - Galinda knows her manners. And when it's playtime, she's the queen of lasers and the empress of string/feather toys. While she's a solo act in the feline department, Galinda might consider sharing the stage with a calm canine co-star. After all, it's all about harmony, darling. Are you ready to give Galinda her big break outside the shelter walls? If so, drop us a line at cats@heartlandanimalshelter.org to schedule an audition - err, we mean, an appointment. And did we mention that her adoption fee is sponsored? She's practically a Hollywood A-lister without the diva attitude.
