Cherry Domestic Short Hair Bellingham, WA

Hi, my name is Cherry! Here is what would work best for me in my new home:

-Personality: Timid at first, affectionate, chatty
-Can Live with Cats: Possibly, with proper introductions
-Can Live with Dogs: Dogs would likely be too scary for her
-Can Live with Kids: Calm, cat-savvy teenaged kids ok
-Needs Indoor Only Home: Yes, due to her skittishness
-History of Litter Box Issues: She had some accidents when she first came to the shelter, but this was likely due to her having urinary crystals. With diet management, she's feeling better and has used her box consistently in the last few weeks.
-Energy Level: Med
-Bite History: No
-Needs Medical Procedure Before Going Home: Yes, a spay

Additional Information: Cherry is a sweet, affectionate cat who is just nervous in the shelter environment. She can be shy at first and is skittish of loud sound and commotion, but we think that she will open up and gain confidence once she's settled into her new home. She's looking for a low-key household where she can get lots of love and gentle pets. Her new family will need to be prepared to help her manage her urinary issues with special diet food and veterinary care. If you'd like to meet with Cherry, ask for an adoption application at customer service.
