My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Sweet Potato is a social and cool tabico cat who was found on the streets of West Philly. When she was first brought to Project MEOW, she had a rash that later spread throughout her entire body. Turns out, she's allergic to so many things (dust mites, fleas, EUCALYPTUS) and she requires a little bit of extra attention. After a few rounds of medication, she's doing so much better but can still flare up from time to time.

Sweet Potato prefers to love from a distance - she'll follow you around from room to room but isn't much of a cuddler. She'll approach you when she wants a little love but prefers to act as a companion. She's not very vocal, happier expressing her needs through body language and long stares. She's super aware of her body - she's not the type to jump on counters or knock over objects. Still a young cat, her favorite toy is a wand, she can run around the home chasing it but is smart enough to understand that it's her human that's behind the toy. She's very independent, but likely best suited in a house without young children, as she's doesn't not appreciate being touched without her consent.

Sweet Potato is about 3 years old and she is spayed, FeLV and FIV negative, current on shots, treated for fleas and worms, microchipped, and litter box trained.

* You must be 18 or older to adopt. If you’re under 18, you must have a parent or guardian submit an application on your behalf.
* All cats must be kept indoors. In special circumstances, we may waive this requirement on a case-by-case basis.
* We do not adopt to any home that will declaw an animal. Declawing is cruel and unnecessary.
* All cats/kittens must be spayed/neutered prior to adoption.
* Kittens under 6 months must be adopted in pairs or into a home with another active cat or cat-friendly dog.
* Your adoption fee helps to cover a small part of the costs of veterinary care. However, we strongly recommend that you take your new kitty to your vet for a check-up shortly after adopting to establish a relationship and a lifetime of regular check-ups and care.
