Precious's Story

Hi! My name is Precious, and my foster mom tells me that it fits the truly special kitty that I am. (She only once called me 'My Precious' in that creepy Gollum voice. Foster moms can be weird, right?)<br/><br/>I'm a beautiful tuxedo kitty, and I take great pride in grooming myself to keep my coat shiny and bright. Of course, if you'd like to brush me, I'd love that! I may be a chill senior kitty, but give me a rattle mouse, my favorite toy, and you'd think I am a kitten. If you're not available to play with me, I'll toss it in the air by myself and chase it all over the room. I've already 'lost' several of them, so I hope you'll stock up.<br/><br/>Like any cat, I love to nap. If you'll nap with me, I'm in kitty heaven and will snuggle in close, rest my little head on you, and purr until I fall asleep. Don't blame me when your heart explodes! When I'm awake, I have no problem speaking up or head booping you when there is something I want. What I often request is booty scratches - foster mom says I have the best 'elevator butt'. Of course, I'm always happy to accept crunchy treats if you're offering.<br/><br/>I did lose one of my eyes due to an infection, but I'm healed now and feeling great. I had a friend when I came to Heartland and he already found his forever home. While I'll be content as a spoiled 'only kitty', I would be thrilled if you have a furry brother or sister for me.<br/><br/>Would you like to come meet me so we can discuss heading to your place? Please reach out to Heartland to plan a meet & greet.<br/><br/>Precious is spayed, up-to-date on her FVRCP and Rabies vaccines, and she is FIV and FeLV negative.<br/><br/>Precious is currently staying in a lovely foster home. Email cats@heartlandanimalshelter.org to set up a time to meet them!
