Domestic Mediumhair kittens & cats in Pevely, Missouri

Suzette is about 8 yrs. old and was acquired from my sister. She loves to play, be brushed and petted. She is a great lap sitter but is overweight.

Open Door Animal Sanctuary has a wonderful program that places our animal senior citizens in loving homes with human senior citizens. We always have older animals that most people overlook at the shelter due to their age and we would love to see them be placed into loving homes. Participants of this program will be provided with a cat or dog, all food, any medications, and all medical treatment free of charge. People 65 and older are encouraged to come by the shelter and meet our loving senior animals. We consider a senior dog to be 8 years and older and senior cats to be 10 years and older. This program is beneficial to everyone involved. Our animals are placed into home environments and senior citizens can experience the love that these babies provide!

Romeo's estimated DOB is: August, 2009. Looking for an experienced cat owner to be Romeo's special person.Romeo is a friendly and affectionate guy. He will follow you around from room to room and is very loving. He likes to be in your lap. He has the personality of a Turkish Angora and soft bunny hair. He is the kind of cat that does not hide when there are visitors and comes out to visit. However there are times when he can be kind of a DIVA and lash out when he is done with affection. So small children are not recommended. He is still very playful and loves toys that move, like mice on wheels, little fluff balls etc. He would love to have an owner that would allow him to sleep in bed with them and be on their lap a lot. Romeo lives with big, medium and little dogs, has lived with other cats in the past. He does have a tendency to pick on other cats depending on their personality. Romeo needs to eat wet food at least once a day. Currently he eats Fancy Feast Broths and dry food in the morning. At night he gets a half of a small can of wet food. Romeo tests positive for FIV. Please don't let his condition scare you away - FIV kitties can lead long, normal and healthy lives simply by being kept indoors, receiving good nutrition and care, and getting annual veterinarian check-ups – all things that every cat should receive. FIV is difficult to transfer to other cats and the primary transmission route is through a deep bite wound. It is not an airborne disease nor is it contagious through shared food dishes, litter boxes or grooming. You can learn more about the FIV virus by going to http://fivcats.com .Now that Romeo is becoming a senior kitty, he has had some health issues. However they are easily manageable and his foster Mom would be happy to discuss.If you have any questions or would like to meet this pet, please email contact@stlpetrescue.com.
