Lagetha's Story

Meet Lagetha— a Sweet Survivor Looking for Her Forever Home<br/><br/>This beautiful Lynx Point Snowshoe mama has been through more than any cat should have to endure, but she is still learning that people can be kind, gentle, and safe. ❤ï ̧<br/><br/>She and her five babies — Astrid, Bjorn, Vidar, Kara, and Sigard — were found abandoned on the side of the road. Lagetha was severely undernourished and simply did not have enough nutrition or milk to feed her kittens. Sadly, little Sigard passed away, and we came frighteningly close to losing Vidar as well. Thankfully, the remaining kittens fought hard, and Mom has been there through it all.<br/><br/>Because of everything she has experienced, Lagetha is still fearful of humans and will need an adopter who understands that trust takes time. But underneath that fear is a loving cat who truly wants affection.<br/><br/>When her foster mom enters the room, Lagetha may hiss at first, but once she hears her foster mom talking to her, her whole attitude changes. She will meow for pets and attention, and she absolutely loves being talked to. She has even learned to trust her foster mom enough to allow her to touch and pet her belly — a huge sign of the trust she is slowly building.<br/><br/>Lagetha isn't looking for someone who expects an instantly confident lap cat. She needs someone patient, understanding, and willing to let her set the pace. Give her the time she needs, and you'll get to experience something incredibly special: watching a scared mama cat learn that she is finally safe.<br/><br/>We truly believe Lagetha is going to make an amazing companion for the right person. She has already shown us how much love she has to give — she just needs someone willing to earn her trust.<br/><br/>If you have a little patience, a lot of love, and room in your heart for a survivor, Lagetha may be the girl you've been waiting for. ❤ï ̧<br/><br/>Adoptions are limited to an approximately 150-mile radius from Locust Grove, GA, certain circumstances may allow exceptions.<br/><br/>To apply to adopt this pet, please fill out a Preliminary Adoption Application at https://www.streetpaws.org/home/adopt.<br/><br/>This application does not commit you to an adoption. It is used to screen those interested to make sure the home is a good match for the pet and your family. We verify vet history on current/previous pets to ensure pets have been spayed/neutered and vaccinated annually. Please call your vet to give permission for us to call them.<br/><br/>Our adoption fee is $125 - 250 for all our cats. They have been given age-appropriate vaccinations, are spayed/neutered, have been feline leukemia/ feline aids tested, dewormed, have received flea prevention, and are micro-chipped. We will ensure the microchip is registered. If more information is needed regarding the pet email info@streetpaws.org. You must complete the pre-application to obtain approval to meet the pet.
