AGNES Domestic Short Hair Westminster, MD

MEET AGNES, OR AGGIE AS HER FOSTER USUALLY CALLS HER! SHE IS A SWEET LADY WHO CAME TO THE SHELTER BACK IN DECEMBER AS A STRAY. SHE WAS AGED AT ABOUT 7 YEARS OLD, AND PREVIOUSLY SPAYED, BUT WAS SEVERELY OBESE AT OVER 24 POUNDS AND COULD BARELY WALK. AFTER 6 MONTHS IN FOSTER, SHE IS A NEW WOMAN AND IS NOW ABOUT 14 LBS. SHE HAS SO MUCH MORE ENERGY THESE DAYS, AND CAN BE PLAYFUL LIKE A KITTEN SOMETIMES! NOW AGGIE IS READY TO MOVE ON TO THE NEXT STEP IN HER JOURNEY OF FINDING A NEW ADOPTIVE FAMILY! AGGIE HAS EATEN A MOSTLY WETFOOD DIET SINCE GOING TO FOSTER, AND DOES REALLY WELL WITH WERUVA CANNED FOOD (NOT A FAN OF THE SHREDDED CHICKEN), AND SOME FANCY FEAST/FRISKIES AS WELL. SHE USUALLY EATS 2 -5 OZ CANS, OR 3-4 SMALLER WERUVA POUCHES DAILY, BUT HER NEW FAMILY WILL WANT TO FOLLOW UP WITH THEIR VET TO MAKE SURE THAT HER DIET CONTINUES TO BE APPROPRIATE GOING FORWARD, AND HELP HER MAINTAIN HER FIGURE. AGGIE DOES OK WITH PELLET LITTER, BUT DOES PREFER CRYSTAL LITTER (PRETTY LITTER, TIDY CAT CRYSTALS, FRESH STEP CRYSTALS). SHE DOES BEST WITH A LOW, OPEN TOP LITTERBOX. ONE THINGS HER FOSTER LEARNED IS THAT AGGIE DOES NOT LIKE DOGS! SHE CAN ALSO BE A BIT CAT SELECTIVE, BUT USUALLY IS PRETTY TOLERANT OF OTHER CATS. SHE WOULD LOVE TO JUST SIT ON SOMEONES LAP AND GET PETS ALL DAY! IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A SWEET AND LOVING GIRL TO ADD TO YOUR FAMILY, PLEASE PLAN TO COME MEET AGGIE SOON!
