My name is Zelda!

If we were giving awards out for the saddest kitten face, Zelda would have won paws down! This tiny girl arrived as a miserable curl of fur. She constantly looked like she was on the verge of bursting into a fountain of cartoon-style tears. Part of this was undoubtedly that she was genuinely unhappy, but she was also tiny for her age with sunken features and wet eyes. She didn’t want to eat or play. We gave her a heating pad, and the next day she started eating wet food. She had bad diarrhea, so we mixed a bit of canned pumpkin into the wet food and she must have really liked the pumpkin because she ate and ate and ate! It took a long time to get her started on dry food, but she started putting on weight and now she mostly looks pouty. Zelda recently moved to a community room with other kittens. She hadn’t had playmates for a long time, if ever, so she had a bit of a learning curve. Other cats have nerve endings and can’t be played with like soft toys! Who knew? This playful little warrior is having a great time learning how to cat. Zelda was born end of May 2024. If she is not spayed by the time she is adopted, she will be on a spay/neuter contract. Zelda is microchipped, and up-to-date on vaccinations. As always, cat/kitten adoptions are free will donation to approved applicants. ****The first step in the adoption process is to complete the application at www.emmetcountyanimalshelter.org****
