Ok Laura...here is Evita!!!
Laura PM'd me about Evita because her son fell madly in love with her when he saw her picture on the website. I promised to get info about her and post some more pictures. Geez! I wish you guys weren't so far away!!!!
The story on Evita is that someone turned her in as a stray. She is declawed so someone either threw her out or she ran off. She has been in the shelter for about a year now and no one has looked for her. Most of the shelter workers think she has an attitude but I don't feel that way at all. She gives them a hard time when it comes to medication and she doesn't like the girl who does it. I don't blame her! She gives me tons of love and snuggles and has never been a problem. She gets angry when I go to put her back in her cage and she nips my hand. Biting is very common in declawed cats because that is all they have left but I don't classify her as a biter. She just kind of hits my hand open mouthed. She has never bitten down or even dented my skin. She is just trying to tell me what she wants or doesn't want. She gave me so much love tonight that I wanted to eat her up! She wanted to rub her head on mine over and over! She started licking my chin and then gave me a full mouth on mouth kiss that could melt butter!!! It was the first time she had done that and it was wonderful! She put her mouth right up to mine just like a kiss and she held it there for the longest time. I took a picture but it didn't turn out real good. It's hard to take a picture of yourself when your getting such a wonderful kitty kiss! I have NEVER had a cat do that before!
Here is Evita!

She needs the groomer to have those two mats removed from her neck.

Now does she look like she has an attitude to any of you? She just needs love. I personally love Evita!!
I'd get those knots out of her in a heartbeat.
I can't stay away from looking at these pictures of her. I hope her she gets better soon so you can work on getting her a good forever home. Once you tell how she is, there will be someone who will take her. There will be somebody who will understand she has been there for so long and has withdrawn and will become a different girl in a loving, secure inviroment.
I have taken in cats in for the vet I use to have that people had brought in to be PTS because they moved and couldn't take them or other reasons without caring one bit about personalities and some of them were not affectionate or want to be petted at all. To some of us, all that don't matter. What matters is them having a home! I have taken in senior cats that nobody else wanted because they were to old where I feel they deserve to live out their last days in a real home where someone cared about them. My feeling is when they have lived a long life, they deserve better than to die in a cage (or shelter) or be PTS because they were no longer wanted.Things that are not their fault. Years of faithful service deserve better than that!!!!
