In mid-December, we pulled this stunning calico off the SEAACA kill list, where she landed after being struck by a car. The incident left her with a crushed pelvis, road rash, and extensive degloving injuries (areas of missing skin and fur) throughout her hind quarters and tail. To say that this young lady was in a world of hurt would have been an understatement.
After 3 weeks in the hospital and an additional 4 weeks of crate rest, this resilient baby is very nearly as good as new. Due to the manner in which her pelvis healed, she does have an ever so slightly odd gait, but that doesn't keep her from running and playing and climbing onto your lap. (It does, however, preclude her from jumping onto your kitchen counters, which for many may be a feature and not a bug.)
If ever there was a cat who just wanted to sit in a lap and be loved, it is this sweet girl. THIS CAT IS AN ABSOLUTE LOVE. Despite all the trauma she has endured, she wants nothing more than to lie on her back and soak up all the belly rubs and chin scratches we can deliver.
Celie is vaccinated, microchipped, FIV/FeLV negative, and spayed, and would prefer to be an only cat. Our vet estimates that she is two years old. She is really a great cat. Her foster mom says, "She actually IS okay with other cats with a proper introduction. but she would also be happy to be an only cat. Really loving and desperate for belly rubs. Able to jump on a bed no problem. I don't expect she'll ever be jumping onto counters, which for many is a bonus."
Does this sound like the right cat for you? If so, please fill out an application and come meet her today.
Like her namesake from The Color Purple, she is tough as nails and resilient as hell but has a heart of gold that only wants to love.
