About Bella
UPDATE JANUARY 2022: Bella has moved to an amazing new foster home and although she has only been there a short time, she moved right in with no issues at all and is being the sweetest kitty ever just like we have experienced over the past 8 months once we figured out the right medication and quiet living environment for her. She is described as an ANGEL by her new foster! Read more about her past year below....
Bella....adopted as a super sweet young kitten. Loving, affectionate, chased after the children to play. Something happened....we really aren't sure what...perhaps the young children got overly rambunctious, perhaps she bumped her head, we really don't know. Her family loved her so much but something happened and she literally went bonkers. She seems to have some hearing loss (although not complete). She seemed to be seeing ghosts (best way we could describe it) and would get super freaked out. On the advise of vets, we tried anti-seizure meds, we tried a variety of anxiety meds....and finally found one that worked for her...Clomipramine....it works!
Bella is back to her sweet self if she has this oral medication once per day (pill form and she is easy to give it to). the medication costs around $1/day. She is loving, wants you with her every day....wants your lap, makes biscuits, purrs, rubs on you. enjoys belly rubs. She gets very lonely if she is left by herself all day so when her mom returns to her home office on Monday mornings, she is SO excited. She nees a home with someone who has a lot of stability in their life, quiet and routine. Her crazy is scary...it is the halloween style screeching cat. Good thing is, we don't see that cat anymore because her meds stabilize her so well. She backs herself into a corner and is hissy. We want to be real here....this is a big deal and it will take a very special cat person to care for Bella. She has never lived with other pets and the ones in her foster home (since March 2022) have made her anxious so she has been in a room to herself (now her foster mom's office where she works from home). But, recently, with the door cracked open, she has begun to show interest in one of the cats that comes to sit outside the door. He really just wants to go in to steal her food but she seems intersted in this mystery man outside the door.
Apply to adopt to schedule a meet and greet. Bella would not do well at an adoption event so meet and greets will be conducted in her foster home with approved adopters.
All cats are spayed/neutered, current on vaccines, FELV/FIV tested negative (unless otherwise listed), dewormed and given monthly flea preventative.
