Story
FINALLY, this absolute stunner of a tortie is up for adoption! We named this gal Geez Louise, and for good reason, because HOLY YIKES. When we first met several months back, girlfriend here was really going through it. She came into rescue with a gaping wound right over the top of her thigh, into her hip flexor. We dont know what happened there, but it was super gross and required emergency attention. And on top of that, Geezie had a SCREAMING urinary tract infection at the same time. Like, literally screaming. She would spend 15, 20, maybe 30 minutes at a pop, squatted up while trying to be ginger with that gnarly leg wound, attempting to release even so much as a teaspoon worth of pee, and just cussing her tail off the entire time at the top of her lungs. You name it, she said it. She probably invented some new swear words throughout that era of her life, and justifiably so. We would stand next to the box and mutter geez. Holy... Oh geez, girlfriend...geez Louise... enough times that the name stuck. Three months later, you would never know she had been through such an ordeal. Louies luscious tortoise coat has grown back in. The screaming pees are behind her, and theres not a single lingering after effect. No special food- no visible lingering scar- not a single curse word is muttered when she hits the whiz. Just a one year old, well rounded kitty looking for the home shell relish for the rest of her life.
When were not calling her Geezie or Louie or any variation of either, we simply call her Girlfriend, because that too, is exactly what she is. Shes one of the best girlfriends you could ever have. Shes a companion through and through, who loves hanging out in your lap on a chilly winter evening, laying behind your head on the couch, or just chatting you up about the days events when you come home. If you want to play? Shes 100% down. Had a bad day and just want to lay? Shes got you there, too. She doesnt mind sharing her space with dogs or other cats, but she does need a nice, slow intro so shes sure they arent there to hurt her. She never misses the litter box, eats like a bird, so she wont break the bank at the pet store, and she isnt on any special diet. Theres nothing bad to say about her- except for maybe her behavior when shes on the nip. That is...rather...concering at times. One rip of good ol cat nip and she morphs into a parkour professional- and sometimes, youre her springboard!
If youre looking for a well rounded, easy going cat who just wants to be your bestie, Geez Louise is your girl. Shes just one year old, spayed, microchipped, current on all vaccines and toting a clean bill of health! Apply to take her forever home at thephoenixremixrescue.com!
