She was doing lots of vomiting and just was not growing, but she loved life, and the shelter did not want to euthanize her, so they contacted us. When we got her, we took her in to our vet to see what was going on, and it was discovered that Chimi has megaesophagus. At the time, she had aspiration pneumonia which can be common with kitties with megaesophagus. However, since those first few weeks, we have gotten this sweet girl on a regimen that has made all the difference in the world for her, and for the past months, she has never developed pneumonia again. Chimi is a sweetheart of a girl with lots of energy, loves toys and playing and loves watching birds and squirrels! She gives kisses and face rubs, and along with the funny esophageal sounds, she has a big purr. She is agile and athletic like any kitten her age, and loves nothing better than attention - unless it's her food!Megaesophagus is a congenital abnormality where the esophagus is greatly distended and pretty much flaccid. There are two types, and through a CAT scan, we found Chimi has the kind that cannot be fixed through surgery. That kind is called a vascular anomaly, and had she had that form, we would have had the surgery. Alas, she has the kind that cannot be surgically repaired. Chimi is a perfectly normal kitten in every way as long as she follows the regimen we have established for her. There are several MUSTS and several MUST NOTS. Seriously, she is very easy to manage- especially if she is the only animal, or even if she is not and the humans are vigilant. The goal is to let gravity help the food move down the esophagus and into her stomach - and then it's all normal from there! The NO-NO's are:1. No dry food ever2. No human food or treats3. No overeating or gorging (even though she would love to!)What must happen:1. Her food is blended into a smoothie that is fed four times a day2. She needs to eat with her head and neck elevated3. She must be held upright for 10-15 minutes after each meal4. Meds are given in her mealsTruly, she is an easy management kitten - so if you think you can do it, we will help you! She deserves a chance and a home like any other kitten, and she is such a sweetheart, we know someone will fall in love because what's not to love?!For more information or to apply to adopt please go to: https://www.purrpartners.org/adopt/

Zoe is eligible for the Seniors for Seniors program and Foster To Adopt.This gorgeous girl has the softest fur and big, bright green eyes! She is full of personality, funny, curious and a lap cat to boot. She loves people and wants to be the life of the party greeting guests and expecting pets.She loves to sit on a lap, catching a snooze while the humans watch TV or surf the 'net. She wants to be near her humans, but if they are busy, she loves to curl up on a smooth comfy blanket in the sun. She's a great cat for those who work from home, as she will leave you alone for most of the day, but like any good co-worker, she'll pop her head in your office and remind you that it's time to go get lunch, or play a quick game of chase. Every night, without fail, Zoe goes around the house, gathering up her stuffed animals, brings them to the bedroom and meows loudly to tell everyone it is bedtime. She sleeps through the night and doesn't bother her humans until breakfast time. Zoe is still very playful and likes to interact with her human. She has a strong hunting instinct and so needs an active companion to help her get those zoomies out. She loves to watch the birds and gets all animated. She will keep anyone company, she is a great supervisor and her antics and personality are sure to put a smile on your face.The ideal home would have no other pets and have someone that is not gone for long periods of time. Someone that has time to interact and be her best friend.Zoe is Foster-to-Adopt. Why would such a great cat be Foster to Adopt? Zoe likes her schedule and for things to be very routine, moving homes is a massive adjustment for her and she can be overly dramatic when it gets interrupted. She will adjust in a few days time but she will likely throw a temper tantrum for the first several days letting you know and it can be a bit much so we want people to know they have plenty of time for her to adjust and settle in.
