Garbo is a beautiful long haired girl with a heartfelt story. She is learning to trust her humans after not having the greatest life for nearly two years. Her eyes are stunning and actually change from a golden color to a deep rust color (her previous owner named her Rusty).
Garbo came into her foster home on 3/14/24 with her six 4-day old kittens because her then owner thought the kittens were ugly (not long haired like her first litter) and threatened to throw her and the kittens outside. But Garbo sadness didn’t start here, it started before this litter of kittens. Garbo was an indoor/outdoor cat, and after having her first beautiful litter, the family thought it was OK to let her outside to get pregnant the second time in hopes of having more kittens like her first litter.
The evening that Garbo came to me she was covered in mats that took about four weeks of combing and conditioning her coat to get them out. She also had sticks and twigs matted into her back end so bad they had to be cut out. She had ear mites as well. It truly broke my heart. Garbo was scared and wondering why she was removed from the place she knew as her home. For several days would growl and hiss whenever you would get close to her or her babies. After a few days, she calmed down and realized she could trust us.
Garbo still showed signs of displeasure towards my husband and son, and we figured at that point she had been abused by the husband at the house where she came from.
Change still comes hard for Garbo, but each time we move her to another room her upsets are shorter.
Two days ago was the first she purred for me and rolled over for belly rubs! We are working on socializing her with our personal cats and other foster cats in the home at a very slow pace. Our hopes are that she will begin to get along with at least some of them. However, if she does not, we know she will do great as a single animal.
Garbo loves her treats so this is one avenue we are using to help her understand that she can trust guys too! She enjoys playing with catnip toys and loves to scratch on scratching post. The laser light is another favorite of hers. Garbo is spayed, tested negative for FIV/FELV and heartworm. She is up-to-date on vaccines, flea treated, dewormed, and is micro chipped.
If you are someone who is willing to take a chance on this beautiful girl and not expect her to be your best friend the first day go ahead and fill out an application and we can talk.
