Foster cat`s bio for their adoption profile: Gertrude, also known as Gertie, is a very quiet girl with a sweet temperament. Once she is comfortable with you, she will snuggle for hours on end. She will aggressively rub on anything that you put in front of her and LOVES forehead kisses.

She was found abandoned with a harness on which caused her to have very severe wounds under her arms. She was also extremely emaciated. Over the past 3 months, she has doubled her weight and her wounds are looking much better. She still has a long road of healing ahead and will likely have some special scars for the rest of her life.

You wouldn’t know that she has had a rough start. Throughout her many bandage changes and wound treatments, she has maintained a positive attitude (as long as there are creamy treats involved)! She can be fearful when meeting new people. She does best in quiet environments with lots of food motivation and pets.

Any special needs or traits the adopter should know about? (we may add this to the bio):

More about this rescue

Since 1996 SCAT Street Cat Rescue's prime focus has been feral cats because of the limited options available for them. TNR is a successful option instead of the traditional trap and kill. The majority of the cats rescued by SCAT, however, are socialized and available for adoption. As the city grows, so to does the need for our services. Adopt, Donate, Volunteer, TODAY!
