Bubbles

Sometimes, a cat comes along and completely changes the plan-and Bubbles is one of them!<br/>When Bubbles first arrived, she was a fierce, spicy, and protective nursing mom who was thin and fighting hard to survive. Despite our best efforts and intervention, we sadly couldn't save her kittens, but her fight taught us a lot about her resilience.<br/>Our original plan was Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) to open up much-needed space for daily incoming help requests. However, after her spay surgery, Bubbles developed a serious, unexpected complication: horrific diarrhea. We knew we had to treat her before returning her...<br/>And that's when we saw the real Bubbles emerge!<br/>Once she was safely indoors and receiving care and consistent food, this "mean" stray transformed into an absolute sweetheart. She's a total lap cat, she practically melts when you pick her up, and she begs for endless head scratches and attention. She lives for your time!<br/>Out of an abundance of caution, we did full testing. She's negative for FIV and FeLV, but the veterinarian did detect a heart murmur - around a Grade 2 out of 5.<br/>Knowing this, and seeing how much she thrives as an indoor companion, we simply cannot in good conscience put her back outside. Bubbles deserves a safe, quiet, and loving home. <br/><br/>A heart murmur is simply an extra sound (like a soft "whoosh") heard by a vet between heartbeats. In many adult cats, it's just a unique part of who they are!<br/><br/>Quick Facts for Potential Adopters:<br/>What it is: A murmur is caused by turbulent blood flow. It is categorized by "Grades" from 1 to 6 (1 being very faint, 6 being the loudest).<br/><br/>Living with a Murmur: Many cats with murmurs live long, happy, and completely normal lives without ever needing medication.<br/><br/>Monitoring: Bubbles just needs a family who will prioritize her annual vet check-ups to ensure her heart remains stable.<br/><br/>The "Bubbles" Factor: She doesn't know she has a murmur! She's just as playful and affectionate as any other cat; she just has a little extra "beat" to her purr.<br/><br/>Our Goal: We want to find a home that understands Bubbles might need a little extra care down the road, but who sees the incredible companion she is right now.
