Phoebe

Were you just thinking to yourself that what you're missing in your life is a rather rotund, loaf of a tortie? Well if so, your wait is over! Meet the fun and fabulous, Phoebe. Sweet Phoebe came to us through no fault of her own, but only after one of her owner's passed away and the other had to move and couldn't take her. Phoebe has an estimated birthdate of 7/26/16, so she's about 10 years old. <br/><br/>If there were an Olympic event for eating snacks and looking adorable, Phoebe would already be a gold medalist.<br/><br/>This lovely tortoiseshell lady is around 10 years old and has never met a meal she didn't absolutely love. In fact, Phoebe currently tips the scales at 18 pounds, giving her the unmistakable silhouette of a baby seal. She is, to put it delicately, a little more "fluffy" than the average feline.<br/><br/>Phoebe would like everyone to know that she does not have a weight problem. She has a staff problem. Specifically, a staff that keeps insisting things like "portion control," "calories," and "your joints will thank you later." Phoebe strongly disagrees with these policies and has filed several formal complaints, all of which have unfortunately gone unanswered.<br/><br/>The truth is that this sweet girl has probably been sneaking a few too many extra snacks for quite a while, and carrying around that much extra weight isn't doing her any favors. Kitties can get overweight when they over indulge in dry food and treats. Fast fact- canned food can actually help kitties in their weight loss journeys as there is more moisture content in it and not as high in carbs. Kitties don't drink enough water so canned food is helpful for their kidneys too! <br/><br/>We're committed to helping Phoebe slim down so she can feel her best and stay comfortable for years to come. Phoebe, however, remains convinced that this entire diet thing is a conspiracy, and this chatty gal reminds us several times a day! <br/><br/>Despite her culinary ambitions, Phoebe is an absolutely delightful companion. She's talkative, engaging, and has plenty to say about everything happening around her. Whether she's greeting you at the door, supervising household activities, or reminding you that dinner was due approximately twelve minutes ago, Phoebe is always eager to be part of the conversation.<br/><br/>She absolutely loves people and has a wonderfully social personality. She gets along well with other cats and generally seems to think everyone she meets could potentially become a friend... or possibly a food source. While we haven't had the opportunity to test her with dogs, we suspect she'd do just fine with a gentle, cat-friendly pup. That said, any feline or canine roommate should be advised to keep a close eye on their dinner bowl. Phoebe believes sharing is caring, especially when someone else's food is involved.<br/><br/>Underneath all those extra pounds is a truly fantastic cat. She's affectionate, funny, friendly, and full of personality. What Phoebe needs now is a family that will love her enough to stick to her diet, no matter how convincing her starving-Victorian-child routine may be.<br/><br/>If you're looking for a cat who will make you laugh every day, keep you company through every meal, and provide endless entertainment with her larger-than-life personality, Phoebe is ready to waddle her way straight into your heart.<br/><br/>Phoebe is just an all around wonderful gal, and she deserves to spend her senior years in a loving forever home. She has been brought back to us twice now as the result of her owners passing away. This sweet girl so deserves a permanent home where she can finally know what forever feels like. <br/><br/>Just one favor: if you adopt her, please don't let her sweet-talk you into unlimited snacks. She's already working on her next ten pounds!<br/><br/>Would you like to meet this sweet as can be girl, and give her the permanent loving home that she deserves? If so, please fill out an application, and once approved we will call you to schedule a meet and greet! <br/> <br/>West Jefferson, Ohio<br/>#hsmcohio<br/><br/>Our adoption fee is $100.00 for kittens up to 6 months of age and $80 for cats 7 months and older. It includes: a microchip, spay or neuter, set of shots, de-worming, and a 1-year rabies vaccine (if old enough). Fees can be made by cash or credit card.
