Every now and then PFA fosters a rescued cat who, through no fault of its own, seems to have a harder time than most when it comes to finding a forever home.
Our latest hard-luck cat is Isis, an 18 month old female tabby who was kicked out of her original home along with her sister, Eve, when they were no longer tiny kittens.
A kind neighbour rescued Isis and Eve and fostered them with assistance from PFA to get them spayed and vaccinated. However, she moved outside of the city several months later and we had to find new foster homes for both cats.
Isis adapted easily at first but eventually became stressed by the other cats in her loving but small foster home. So, she was placed at PetSmart in the hopes she’d be adopted quickly and sure enough, after a week a young couple wanted to adopt her. Her foster care provider took her back home so that she wouldn’t have to spend any more time in a cage and the couple was to pick her up there, but then backed out of the adoption. So, Isis went back to a cage at PetSmart where she has been for a month now, becoming more lonely and sad each day.
Isis is a sweet, smart and affectionate young cat that loves people and attention, and she is lacking the love she so craves while living in a cage. The stress of all the moving around has led her to require gastro food for a sensitive stomach for now and that has prevented several people from adopting her. However, she has been vet checked and we expect this issue to diminish once she is finally in a stable home environment.
We are currently trying to move Isis into another foster home with either no cats, or only 1-2 other cats, which is difficult at the best of times let alone now, when we are overwhelmed with winter rescues. And, the sad fact is that temporary situations and frequent moves are very hard on animals. What Isis really needs is a loving, permanent home where she can settle in and just be a loving cat companion her owner. She has been waiting a very long time.
If you or someone you know is interested in adopting a young, affectionate female cat, please consider Isis! You can view her ad here or contact us at saskpeopleforanimals@gmail.com for more info.
