Parisa continues to show steady progress to being adjusted to indoor life and sociable. He spends more time out and about then previous, but does sleep most of the day. He has started to venture out of his room but not for very long. He is definitely coming to to his foster parent for affection and wanting to play, as well as for food (though food still a huge motivator for him). He has even come up on the bed the last few morning for pets, he has the softest fur! He is still easily startled and not comfortable about being picked up.
Parisa will need adopters who understand it may take a bit of time for him to feel comfortable in a new environment. He has a lot of love to give you just have to earn it. We can see him being a lovely little house cat for someone special.
Background: Parisa was living in an outdoor cat community in a rural wooded area. He was shy, but friendly when he came into foster care as part of our TNR program. His foster saw the makings of a quiet, gentle house cat, so he remained in foster care rather than returning to his outdoor community.
About Me:
Parisa developed some urinary symptoms early on and was treated for a urinary tract infection. His urinalysis indicated a low PH which puts him at increased risk for development of crystals, but none were seen at that time. He was treated with anti-biotics and has been on a prescription urinary diet since then.
Our Veterinary partner recommends that he continue on this prescription diet: Royal Canin Urinary SO Calm canned food. Since he experienced urinary issues at a young age, it is possible that he may continue to be prone to these problems in the future, and a Veterinary prescription food with an SO index helps to maintain his urinary health in the future.
We have listed him as Special Needs for this reason.
Notes:
The adoption fee includes a health check, first vaccination in a series and any that become due while in care, first anti-parasite treatments needed in care, spay or neuter and microchip at our Veterinary partner. There is a 10% discount when you adopt 2 cats/kittens. The adopter will be responsible for any vaccine or boosters, anti-parasite treatments that are needed after adoption. Kittens usually need 3 vaccines, one month apart starting at age 7 weeks. Juveniles and Adult cats usually require 2 vaccines one month apart in the first year, then annual vaccines. Deworming is recommended at the time of each vaccine appointment. If you are intending to adopt, please be aware that your Veterinary clinic may be experiencing backlogs in scheduling appointments, so do not delay calling your clinic to book your new cat's needed booster appointment(s). Please note that cats are not tested for FIV/FeLV nor can FIP be predicted. We will share any medical information gathered during our health checks and observations revealed during their time in care. But it is important to know that some illnesses can have an incubation period of 10 days, which means that a cat can leave in good health but get sick a few days post adoption. In addition, the stress of a new environment can affect a cats’ immune system.
