"I got cats in my head and they won't go. Spirit's in my head and she won't go!"
Spirit came to us from another shelter, and spent some time in foster learning proper manners and getting acquainted with people. Now Spirit is ready to begin bonding with our shelter volunteers and find her fur-ever home with that special someone!
ABOUT SPIRIT:
-At shelter
-Adult, domestic shorthair, female
-Spirit is a skittish cat who has had minimal experience with humans.
-Spirit is currently enrolled in EHS's socialization program, where dedicated volunteers are working to help her become more comfortable around people.
-Some skittish cats may remain reserved, while others may express their trust and affection in a variety of ways. Spirit accepts pets with a back-scratcher, and sometimes by hand.
-Spirit has FIV, which is a virus that weakens the immune system of a cat but is not transmissible to humans or other species.
-Spirit is spayed, house-trained, not declawed, microchipped, and has received core vaccinations.
SPIRIT'S IDEAL HOME:
-Spirit does not require medication but vet checkups twice a year are recommended.
-Cats who have FIV can live just as long as other cats if they are properly cared for with a good diet, an indoor home, and a loving family.
-Spirit must be the only cat in the house.
-A skittish cat will benefit from a calm, quiet environment, preferably without small children.
-Potential adopters should be prepared to commit the time, effort, and patience required to help Spirit settle into her new environment. EHS will provide post-adoption support to assist Spirit with a successful transition to her forever home.
Are you in the giving spirit? Spirit's looking for a quiet home where she can take her time to come out of her shell, build her trust, and finally let her true nature shine through!
