Tabby kittens & cats in Decatur, Illinois

We’ve had her for years, she started out as a stray and has never been to the vet but no health issues. She recently got fleas and I’ve done everything but I’m only 71 (flip it) and simply can’t do much for her. I love her so much and I just want her to have a happy home and live out the rest of her years peacefully. We estimate her age to be 17-18 but she’s very active. She’s the sweetest cuddliest girl and is all in all a joy to have. I can’t do right by her and I want someone who can provide her with the life I can’t. Her story is complicated and I am more than happy to explain to someone the details. The fee is simply for serious adopters and will be refunded at pick up if they decide to pursue her care.

Daphne needs a home without other pets. She has not been socialized as a young kitten so as to not be anxious and scared around other cats, dogs, or children. She is sweet and loves pets when it is her idea. She does not like to be picked up. I believe this is because she was not socialized to being handled as a young kitten. She loves to interact in play mode with her human by chasing a stringed toy or a laser light. Daphne wants to be the only cat and would prefer a home without dogs too. She will urinate and/or poop outside the litter box if stressed. This behavior will extend to marking an area that she can detect as occupied by a previous cat. She is 3 years old and needs a home that is free of other pets and odors so that she may fully relax without stress and stress behaviors.
