Meet Ginger

Meet Ginger! This poor gal has had a tumultuous life - she came to TCR front declawed and with an ear tip. She was surrendered by her first owner, then returned by her second. The vet estimates her age to be around 8 years old.

Ginger is a loving girl who wants nothing more than *just the right amount* of attention. She is talkative and expressive - she will let you know when she is lonely or craving attention and will have a whole conversation if you want. Ginger is a play hard nap hard kind of gal, so she will need you to run around with her a lot, then give her a nice spot to snooze in later. She shows her love by sleeping in bed next to you every night, and being a lap warmer in the colder months. She tends to get overstimulated when excited or stressed, so it's best to let her decide when to be petted! Unfortunately, she will sometimes swat or use her mouth to tell her people when she's had enough (probably because of the declawing.) We think that Ginger would do best in a home where her adopters are willing to be patient with her and provide affection, but not push her boundaries. Small children are not likely to be a good fit for her as they may not be able to pick up on the signs and signals of overstimulation in cats.

Ginger would probably do well as the only kitty in the home, or with a more easygoing cat that likes to play. With a very careful introduction, she is currently living with another younger cat and doing well. A lot of her nibbling seems to be from wanting to play and not knowing how to express it, so having another cat has significantly reduced this. She is not currently being fostered with a dog, but briefly met one and seemed relatively unphased. She may be able to live with a calm pup, with proper introductions.

Ginger is estimated to be about 8 years old. She has been spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, dewormed, flea treated, and has tested FIV/FeLV-. Do you have a loving, patient home for a sweet older cat that knows exactly what she wants? Please apply today!
