In the shelter’s words

Please read full Heidi's biography before enquiring about her ________ Heidy is a cute medium hair cat. She is very food driven and let you pet her to get what she wants. Heidy is not fond to be lifted and long petting sessions. She is sweet and likes attention on her own terms. She must be single pet in the house, she is terrified of dogs and may not be a good fit for a family with young kids. Heidy was found living in an abandoned moldy appartment. We suspect she was left behind by her owners. We couldn't left her living in there and starving to die. Heidy is fully vetted (spayed, vaccinated, microchiped etc) now and lives in a foster home but would like to have her own family. Heidy is FIV positive but it doesn't affect her quality of life nor requires special care. Let us know if you need more information about this condition. Heidy may have lack of initial socialization, however she warms up to her care giver as she gets comfortable with her new surroundings. Heidy is looking for a savvy-cat person that loves and accepts her as she is. She is quiet and would stay by the side of her care giver and accepts petting and play time on her terms. She just gets over-estimulated with long petting sessions but if you know how to read cat language and respect her boundaries, she could be a wonderful companion. Contact Adoptablecatshouston@gmail.com if you could give Heidy the unconditional love she deserves.
