Sassafras Tarkitty's Story
Sweet and petite! She craves attention from people and seriously wants to snuggle with her human and just be a cuddle bug. She's very gentle in personality and likes to be handled gently as well. She does not get the "zoomies" and she does not play with toys very often.<br/><br/>It took her a while to adjust to living with other cats, but her true priority is getting all the human attention that she can. She has never made close friends with any of the other cats; she does not play with them or snuggle with them, she is just indifferent to them.<br/><br/>She will occasionally play with toys like balls, crinkle toys and catnip mice that she can bat around the floor in addition to playing with the catnip banana. But her number one wish is to have a human to dote on her all the time -- she adores being adored. She will happily jump into your lap or climb on your upper chest so she can be close to your face and give kitty kisses and nuzzle your chin. Her ideal home will have someone who works from home, or where there is at least one human home during the day to shower her with attention. She has not met any children but should be OK with a child who knows how to be gentle with her. <br/><br/>Sassafras has a habit of gnawing on certain non-food items: the flap edges of cardboard boxes, grocery store plastic bags, Baggies, cellophane tape and even deli clamshell containers. Her foster mom has never seen her to try to swallow pieces, however such items need to be kept out of her reach to ensure she does not actually ingest them which will result in an urgent and possibly expensive vet visit.<br/><br/>She is accustomed to twice-daily feedings of juicy Fancy Feast (chicken pate with gravy is the favorite but she eats other FF flavors too) and she has 24/7 access to Purina Pro Plan chicken and egg kibble. For such a little girl, she has a hearty appetite, and will eat a full can of Fancy Feast for breakfast and another for dinner, and snack on the kibble in between. She uses a high-sided litterbox with unscented litter. In her foster home, corn litter (Worlds Best) is what she is used to. She does not well tolerate the dust from standard clay litter, it irritates her nose and causes sneezing, so clay litter must be avoided.<br/><br/>She is spayed, current on vaccines, tested negative for FiV/FeLV, and has been micro chipped.
