April Domestic Short Hair Mix Minneapolis, MN

April is a sweet 15-year-old, short-haired cat who loves getting as many pets as possible; she is looking for her forever home to enjoy her golden years!

This pretty girl is friendly, curious and playful. She enjoys meeting new people and will ask for pets from anyone she meets. Sit down with an empty lap and April will be your BFF lap cat for as long as you will sit still. Despite her age, she can still run, jump, climb and play and would enjoy living in an active household with multiple people to give her love and attention. Small, erratic children might scare April at first, but she would do well with school-age kids who want to give her lots of love and play-time.

April lived with her kitty "sister" Phoebe until April 2023 when her elderly owner died suddenly. A family member and current foster adopted both April and Phoebe and they moved to their new home. However, the stress of losing their long-time owner and moving from the only home they knew made Phoebe very anxious and reactive. Phoebe started lashing out at April and she has not been able to adjust to sharing the new home with April. After months of trying to help them peacefully coexist, the foster and Pet Haven staff feel it would be best for both cats not to live together. April adjusted easily after her move in the spring so she should do well in a new home after a decompression period.

April is up to date on all vaccinations and vet care. She has had her teeth cleaned regularly throughout her life with some teeth needing to be extracted. That doesn't stop her from eating well-in fact, she loves to eat! April has some digestive symptoms such as occasional vomiting and diarrhea. Feeding her using slow feeders has helped her eat more slowly, reducing the vomiting. She is currently being evaluated for IBS and trying a prescription diet. The vet is also monitoring her kidney function as she ages, but no treatment has been necessary yet. The current owner/foster is willing to consider assisting with the cost of April's future medical care if needed.

If you are looking for a fun, friendly, curious, loving and playful senior cat to keep you company and warm your lap this winter, look no further. April is a great combination of affectionate and active, but not overly energetic or demanding. She would likely do well with friendly cats, dogs and children over 5 years old. You won't regret welcoming this lover into your life!
