Meet Mesha: Queen of the Condo, Hater of All Creatures 👑
Hi, I'm Mesha, and I'm a difficult cat. I'll explain why.
I was found as a stray charging at people and had to spend 10 days at PAC to make sure I didn't have rabies. Spoiler alert: I didn't. PAC wasn't quite sure what to do with me, so I had a sedated exam, where they discovered I have arthritis. They also discovered I was already spayed AND microchipped. My microchip led right back to the people who reported me as a stray. Bold move.
My “family” said they knew no shelter would take me because of my behavior. Facts. Is this the way to get a cat into a shelter? No. But also... apparently yes?
I have a theory, which I can't confirm because I'm a cat, that my family got a new pet and it was a huge problem for me. Because here's the thing: I dislike other creatures. A lot.
I currently live in a condo in the cat room, and honestly, that's about the best arrangement you're going to get out of me. When I walk around, I throw hands and tell the other cats exactly where they can go. Some think I'm all talk. Others genuinely cannot stand me. Maybe it's the hairdo. Maybe it's my sparkling personality. Either way, I am not here to make friends.
So, what kind of home do I need?
I need to be the one and only creature in your home. No other cats. No dogs. No surprise roommates of the animal variety.
I need a person who understands that I'm not going to be everyone's cup of tea. I need someone who appreciates a cat with a big personality, respects my boundaries (even when they're egregious), and understands that earning my trust may take time.
That said, I'm willing to admit that I do not own every square inch of the universe. I am the Queen, yes, but perhaps I don't own the threshold, too. We can negotiate. I'm willing to work on myself if you are.
I'm also a senior lady with arthritis, so I could benefit from some extra TLC and vet-approved joint support. My golden years should be comfortable, peaceful, and free from the presence of creatures I would prefer not to acknowledge.
I don't have forever, and I'd really love to find someone who sees past my attitude and understands that cats like me deserve a chance, too.
Do you have a soft spot for spicy seniors? Do you speak fluent feline sass? Can you appreciate a cat who has opinions, boundaries, and absolutely no interest in your nonsense?
Then maybe you're my person.
I'm Mesha. I'm not for everyone, but I could be everything to someone.
And if you think you can handle me, I respectfully invite you to apply.
I said what I said. 💅
*If you can see me, I'm still available! We prefer initial adoption steps to be done via email, this way we can answer any time of day. We also prefer an application submitted before scheduling a visit, but it's not required, an email conversation is great! If you don't have access to email, no worries. Please call 401 680 7591. We differ from other shelters by offering a one-on-one experience between you, our staff and the animal or animals you've chosen to become a new family member!
