About Gracie (and Tigger)
Born ~2013, F, Grey Ragamuffin mix
Adoption Fee: $150 for the pair
Gracie and Tigger MUST be adopted together. There are NO exceptions. See Tigger here.
Gracie is a 10-year-old female cat who has had a rough life. She started out as a stray and was being taken care of by an elderly woman. When the woman passed away, her son kicked Gracie out of the house. A kind elderly neighbor took her in when she noticed Gracie was on the street and hungry. The neighbor already had 5 cats and Gracie joined the family easily with no drama. When the neighbor had to move in with her family for health reasons, she wasn’t allowed to take all her cats with her. She had to make a painful decision to give up Gracie and 13-year-old Tigger.
Gracie is a shy and timid girl but very sweet and docile. She did not have a lot of human interactions, but she is learning to trust and enjoys being petted and brushed.
Gracie came to the rescue with a bad ear infection that hadn’t been treated for a long time. The constant scratching and shaking resulted in a cauliflower ear. It caused the scar tissue to form and the ear flap to shrink. Her infection is all cleared now, and she only needs a bi-weekly ear rinse and ear drops to keep her ears clean. She is very easy to handle and tolerates the ear rinse. After the treatment, she forgives you right away and will come to sit with you.
When we did a blood test on her, the vet recommended that she should be on an early kidney disease prevention diet. She is on Hill’s prescription diet called K/D Early Support.
Gracie and Tigger are a bonded pair and should be adopted together. Gracie constantly seeks comfort from Tigger. When Gracie doesn’t know where Tigger is, she cries and Tigger will come running to her. When we first took them in, they slept in a small cat condo lying on top of each other. They are always sitting and sleeping together.
Grace needs someone who is patient and can work with her to gain her trust and love. Tigger and Gracie will thrive in a quiet home. They are not good with children or dogs. They are good with non-territorial cats.
Gracie is spayed, vaccinated, FELV tested, dewormed, microchipped, eats wet and dry food, and is litterbox perfect.
She currently lives with her foster family in MARTINEZ.
