She was doing lots of vomiting and just was not growing, but she loved life, and the shelter did not want to euthanize her, so they contacted us. When we got her, we took her in to our vet to see what was going on, and it was discovered that Chimi has megaesophagus. At the time, she had aspiration pneumonia which can be common with kitties with megaesophagus. However, since those first few weeks, we have gotten this sweet girl on a regimen that has made all the difference in the world for her, and for the past months, she has never developed pneumonia again. Chimi is a sweetheart of a girl with lots of energy, loves toys and playing and loves watching birds and squirrels! She gives kisses and face rubs, and along with the funny esophageal sounds, she has a big purr. She is agile and athletic like any kitten her age, and loves nothing better than attention - unless it's her food!Megaesophagus is a congenital abnormality where the esophagus is greatly distended and pretty much flaccid. There are two types, and through a CAT scan, we found Chimi has the kind that cannot be fixed through surgery. That kind is called a vascular anomaly, and had she had that form, we would have had the surgery. Alas, she has the kind that cannot be surgically repaired. Chimi is a perfectly normal kitten in every way as long as she follows the regimen we have established for her. There are several MUSTS and several MUST NOTS. Seriously, she is very easy to manage- especially if she is the only animal, or even if she is not and the humans are vigilant. The goal is to let gravity help the food move down the esophagus and into her stomach - and then it's all normal from there! The NO-NO's are:1. No dry food ever2. No human food or treats3. No overeating or gorging (even though she would love to!)What must happen:1. Her food is blended into a smoothie that is fed four times a day2. She needs to eat with her head and neck elevated3. She must be held upright for 10-15 minutes after each meal4. Meds are given in her mealsTruly, she is an easy management kitten - so if you think you can do it, we will help you! She deserves a chance and a home like any other kitten, and she is such a sweetheart, we know someone will fall in love because what's not to love?!For more information or to apply to adopt, please go to: https://www.purrpartners.org/adopt/

Zoe is eligible for the Seniors for Seniors program and Foster To Adopt.Zoe needs a special adopter. Once she trusts her owner she is a lovely lap cat that is fun and entertaining. However, earning Zoe's trust will take an experienced cat person. She doesn't like change and has some anxieties which she then tries to control the situation by intimidating her human. Yes she is a bit of a Diva but once you crack her code, you get rewarded with just a wonderful cat that likes to be the center of attention, will greet your guests, and is very affectionate.She loves to sit on a lap, catching a snooze while the humans watch TV or surf the 'net. She wants to be near her humans, but if they are busy, she loves to curl up on a smooth comfy blanket in the sun. She's a great cat for those who work from home, as she will leave you alone for most of the day, but like any good co-worker, she'll pop her head in your office and remind you that it's time to go get lunch, or play a quick game of chase. Every night, without fail, Zoe goes around the house, gathering up her stuffed animals, brings them to the bedroom and meows loudly to tell everyone it is bedtime. She sleeps through the night and doesn't bother her humans until breakfast time. Zoe is still very playful and likes to interact with her human. She has a strong hunting instinct and so needs toys and playtime to get those the zoomies out . She loves to watch the birds and gets all animated. The ideal home would have no other pets and have someone that is not gone for long periods of time. Someone that has time to interact and be her best friend.

Sweet and shy, Plinko enjoys being held and cuddled and has a gentle, happy purr for people he trusts. He came from a situation where he wasn’t treated well, and he also had an upper respiratory infection when he came to Purr Partners Feline Rescue. He has long since recovered from the illness, but it may have left him with a weak sense of smell, because he isn’t generally interested in food and needs someone to sit with him and feed him special extra-stinky food several times throughout the day to make sure he is getting enough to eat. We hope that in time he will no longer need this and will be able to eat normally on his own, but we can’t guarantee it.Plinko’s favorite activity is watching birds and squirrels out the window, but he also enjoys rolling a ball around the room, crinkling papers, and pouncing on his cat friends as they walk by. Sometimes he gets the zoomies and races up and down the stairs chasing invisible specks. But mostly he is a quiet and chill kitten. We can’t tell yet whether the quiet is because he is still recovering from being malnourished, or if he is just uncommonly calm for a young male cat. It’s likely he will become more active as his condition continues to improve.After his rough start in life, Plinko is still easily startled by noises and people moving toward him suddenly. He would enjoy a quiet house with other cats and human adults or teens to keep him company. So far he has seemed very nervous around dogs, and it’s possible he had a bad dog experience in his past. For now, he needs an experienced cat person who is home most of the day who can give him 4-5 meals a day spaced out every few hours, though hopefully this won’t be necessary for too long.Plinko gets along well with other friendly cats but isn’t recommended for households with young children or dogs.To meet Plinko and other adoptable Purr Partners kitties at one of our weekend adoptathon events, 1) review our adoption policies at https://www.purrpartners.org/adopt/policies/ and 2) then apply to become a pre-approved adopter today at https://www.purrpartners.org/adopt/cats/For more information or to apply to adopt, please go to: https://www.purrpartners.org/adopt/

I’ve had Cashmere since she was 3 months old. She’s s a very chill cat, she’s been around dogs before. However she doesn’t t really have any interest in them. She will need to have her shots. At this time I can’t t afford to take care of her. With the cost of everything going up.
