**WE ARE NOT A SHELTER.

White and Brown Tabby; Domestic Shorthair spayed female, approx. 11 years old as of April 2025.<br/><br/>May became a Waverly Pet Rescue kitty after her owner died in December 2015 in Buchanan County, Iowa. She was very sick and scared when taken in. As her health improved, she became less scared and more outgoing.<br/><br/>May is sweet, friendly and outgoing. She is looking for that special someone to have a close relationship with. She loves to be petted and loves to come over right by you for affection and love. She is comfortable being picked up and held if needed but does not prefer it. She is not really a lap cat but loves to be close and get a lot of attention. She gets along well with other cats and needs to be adopted into a home with other friendly and gentle cats. She would not do well with alphas or cats that tend to bully. Older children that are respectful to her would be alright. She is shy at first until she gets to know someone. She needs to be integrated into a house very slowly over weeks and months. Very small spaces first and then very slowly transition to a little bit bigger spaces etc..<br/><br/>She has some of the most beautiful markings that resemble a cheetah mixed in with her tiger markings. She has so much love to give and is so sweet. She is so happy for her second chance at life and a loving home. May is up to date on shots, spayed, FelV / FIV negative. <br/><br/>2/4/24 UPDATE: May is showing signs of kidney disease in both kidneys based on x-rays from the vet. The disease is in its early stages, which is a relief, and she seems pretty much her happy, normal self from the outside. The kidneys are still doing their job pretty well, thankfully, and continuing to show high function. They have her on special prescription food to help keep everything under control. When adopted, she will need to stay on this prescription food so she can still live a long happy life.<br/><br/>$95 adoption fee for May.<br/><br/>WE ARE A NO-KILL 501-C-3 NON-PROFIT RESCUE.
