She was being fed by a kind lady so that helped keep her alive. After trying to find an owner with no luck, another resident contacted us, and we were able to take this sweet cat in. Katrina is up to date on shots now, tested negative for FeLV/FIV, and was already spayed and front declawed. Really glad we could take her in as declawed cats do not survive long on the streets because they cannot catch food or fight off predators. <br/><br/>Katrina is about 5 years old as of October 2026. She is super friendly and very loving. And wow does she purr and purr. One little pet and her motor is running and it is loud. I cannot express enough how sweet this cat is, even to someone she has just met. If you are looking for a cat to love on and keep you company, she is the one! <br/><br/>She has not been around cats or dogs yet. Will update later once we know more about her. Seems like she would be ok around children as she is very easy going. <br/><br/>11/10/26 UPDATE: Katrina was having breathing issues, and a slight cough so had our vet do a bunch of tests. It is looking like she has asthma and will be starting treatment soon with an inhaler. She also has an abnormal heart rhythm that was heard during her physical exam. The report from the radiologist is very detailed but to summarize:<br/>1. He agrees that the changes in Katrina's lungs are likely due to allergic bronchitis, or asthma<br/>2. He agrees that Katrina likely has heart disease but believes that it is currently compensated. This means that her heart muscle is weakened or unhealthy, but she is not showing any symptoms because her body has been able to make up for it. <br/>3. He believes that the cough is due to the asthma, not the heart disease.<br/>Our vet thinks it's safe to say that she will need lifelong medications for one or more of these chronic conditions, but that they're both manageable at this point in time. <br/><br/>Katrina is very worth it, and we hope someone still wants to adopt her. Feel very grateful that we took her in because she would not have survived outside over the winter. Such a sweet girl.<br/><br/><br/>Katrina's adoption fee is $95.00.<br/><br/>WE ARE A NO-KILL 501-C-3 NON-PROFIT RESCUE. All donations are tax deductible. We do not have a shelter.
