Honey, Domestic Shorthair For Adoption In Fairfax, Virginia

Location:

Fairfax, VA

Description:

"Delightful. Charming. Affectionate. Honey has it all. She's an amazing cat. Sweet. Patient. Great starter cat for someone. She's the best." That's how one staff member described Honey and we could not agree more. Honey is one of those cats that makes us ask, "Why are you still here?" We can't believe she didn't get snatched up the first day she hit the adoption floor quite frankly. She is purrrfection. She does not however, really seem to enjoy the company of other cats. She loves all the attention for herself. We see her as being the only cat in a household with a family because she loves LOVE and attention. Honey has asthma, and takes her med, Prednisolone (a corticosteroid) like a champ because what is NOT amazing about Honey? Oh wait...there is one thing: she wants to know what you're eating - EVERY TIME. Really though, she will need a family who is able to monitor her breathing and assist her with her daily medicines, as well as work closely with their veterinarian to keep her in tip top slightly pear-shape. Ideally, her home with not be loaded up with things like scented plug-ins, candles, etc.If you'd like to meet our available pets, please check the "shelter information" box on the listing to see if the pet is located at our Fairfax Campus (4500 West Ox Road, Fairfax) or our Lorton Campus (8875 Lorton Road, Lorton).
