Story
Grace’s story is one of resilience and second chances. In early February, she appeared at a property during a cold spell and began using one of the outdoor winter cat shelters for warmth. The property owner quickly realized something was very wrong — Grace was extremely lethargic, her body temperature was dropping, and she was suffering from a severe upper respiratory infection. She was rushed to the emergency veterinarian, where she received lifesaving care. At the time she weighed only 5.5 pounds and was very close to death.
Thanks to proper treatment, good nutrition, and a loving foster home, Grace has made an incredible recovery. In just one month she has gained weight and strength, now weighing about 8.5 pounds.
Grace can be shy at first and needs time to feel safe with new people. After a recent vet visit, it took her about a week and a half to fully relax again with her foster family. Once she feels comfortable, however, Grace is incredibly affectionate. She loves to cuddle and will beg for attention whenever her people are nearby.
Because she is sensitive to new people and sudden movement, Grace would do best in a calm, quiet home without young children. When visitors come over, she tends to hide until things feel safe again.
Grace may also have a sensitivity to fish. After eating wet food containing seafood, she developed a small bald spot on her side. Her foster has switched her back to chicken-based food and is monitoring her as the hair grows back.
Grace has come so far in such a short time and deserves a patient, loving home where she can continue to feel safe and cherished. With a little time and understanding, this sweet girl will reward her new family with endless cuddles and affection. 🐾
