My story

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

Sweet, beautiful, affectionate

Mashed Potato is a lovely mamma cat who is ready to send off her kittens and start a quiet new life with a loving family. She's not one for a lot of hoopla and will instead charm you with her beautiful green eyes and pure white fur. She's the perfect cat to have around if you just need a chill buddy to sit with you and relax on the couch. She's not really a lap cat, but she'll gladly lay beside you and offer up some adorable head rubs while she purrs you the song of her people.

Mashed Potato is a mature lady, so playtime isn't really her jam. She also has an old injury that keeps her from being super active, but that doesn't mean she won't let loose every once in a while and answer your call to play. In fact, she absolutely loves her feather wand toy and it is too cute watching her chase it and proudly carry it around in her mouth!

Mashed Potato would be a purrfect addition to a quiet home with a family who will be gentle and respectful to her. She's a joy to have around and she can't wait to meet you!

Mashed Potato has tested positive for FeLV (Feline Leukemia Virus). FeLV cats have a virus that causes a weaker immune system - they do not have cancer! For the most part, felvies are just like any other cat. You could not pick one out of the crowd, and they generally do not require much additional care. As a bonus, we waive their adoption fees! APA! provides full coverage and treatment for any FeLV-related issues that arise after the time of adoption. Cats with FeLV typically have a shortened lifespan - we like to compare it to the lifespan of adopting a senior kitty, with the added benefit that they don't have chronic senior health problems, and that FeLV-related medical care is covered. Mashed Potato is not contagious to people, dogs or other animals, but should live only with other FeLV+ cats. For more information, please contact APA! or read more by our Partner, Best Friends Animal Society: http://bit.ly/2FwYCxR

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.
