My story

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

Friendly, Calm, Chatty

Could you be the gravy to this Mashed Potato? She’s a sweet and talkative girl who can’t wait to be your new best friend!

You might think of potatoes as just a side dish, but this girl is the whole meal - she’s adorable, she’s friendly, and she likes to play! Mashed Potato has the spirit of a lap cat, just without the lap part. She doesn’t really sit in laps, but she loves to be around people. She will sleep in bed with her foster and loves to be petted and get cheek scratches. Mashed Potato is also pretty chatty and loves to talk to her foster all the time!

She’s no kitten, but for a senior girl, Mashed Potato is pretty playful! She really likes playing with the wand toys, but she doesn’t require tons of playtime from her people. She definitely prefers lots of love and attention over toys!

Mashed Potato is currently taking one easy medication for pain and anxiety, since her legs sometimes spasm and she has a slight wobble on her left leg. It doesn’t stop her from being her sweet and chatty self though! The ideal home for Mashed Potato is one with people who will give her plenty of attention and listen to all her little meows. She met some kids between 4-5 yrs old and did well with all of them! Mashed Potato is family ready!

Mashed Potato has tested positive AND negative for Feline Leukemia. This means it is very likely that she is FeLV regressive. FeLV regressive cats typically live a normal lifespan with few symptoms and are at low risk of developing FeLV-related issues. They are, for the most part, just like any other cat. APA! waives the adoption fees of these cats, and provides FeLV-related treatment and support post-adoption. Mashed Potato can only live with other FeLV+ cats, but dogs and other animals are just fine!

All APA! cats are fully vetted, spayed or neutered, and have updated vaccines and a microchip. Lifetime support is offered by our Cat Behavior Team.
