GWEN Turkish Angora Mahwah, NJ

Say hello to sweet Gwen! Yet another strikingly beautiful, all white, spayed female, Turkish Angora/Persian mix cat! Gwen is one of our international cat rescues that we are lucky to have had the opportunity to assist in finding a new home! Gwen is young, approximately 1.5 years old, healthy and ready for adoption here in the USA (NYC area)

Gwen is a horrific pet store rescue story! There are hundreds of pet stores selling kittens that line the city streets in Egypt, but there is no oversight by any agency ensuring the cats are healthy and well cared for. Cats just like Gwen can be neglected and sometimes abused by the store owners who have them there just for the profit they'll make. This is similar to the kind of treatment we see in "puppy mills" here in the USA. Of course Gwen "aged out" and hadn't been sold by the age of 3 months so she was left in a very small cage for weeks in the back of the store alone and neglected before thankfully she was rescued! Despite this horrific treatment by humans she still loves everyone she meets, and has an amazing personality! She can go to a home with other cats, dogs, and young children but ONLY if the children are respectful towards the pets in the home!

She has been fully vetted and is vaccinated (rabies and distemper), blood tested negative for feline viral infections; FIV/FLeV, microchipped and treated for fleas/ticks/dewormed.
