Tortiemama's Story

2-15-26 Tortiemama was found starving April of last year in an inner-city neighborhood. We thought she was pregnant, so we did an ultrasound and found out she was carrying at least 5-6 babies! She had EIGHT! She raised them beautifully and we adopted her out last fall with her baby (in pictures) to a home with an existing adult male cat and a placid greyhound dog. Everything would have been fine except this mama started attacking the pre-existing cat in the home. The original cat got along famously with Tortiemama's kitten, so we had a dilemma and decided on returning her only to the shelter. <br/><br/>Mama is a sweet girl, demure and quiet, seeking affection cautiously until she feels comfortable. She is about 2-3 years old, spayed, tested for diseases and up to date in vaccines. We are looking for a home where she is the only cat, but gentle older dogs are fine. She has BIG double paws and nails that MUST BE TRIMMED regularly. <br/><br/>PLEASE EMAIL US FOR AN APPLICATION at sheerak@verizon.net !
