Patches

My story

Patches – Available for Adoption UPDATE from Foster: “Patches is pretty much a 'ghost' kittie, staying in her safe spot (in the bay window area behind my sofa), where I can see her but not touch her. She occasionally ventures out while I'm actually on the sofa, and is fine so long as I just ignore her, but if I speak to her, she freezes, and if I move, she bolts for safety. I know that she's been feral for most of her life, so I'm guessing that all of this is normal. She has a good appetite, eats and drinks plenty and uses her litter box regularly. She did cough up a hair ball this week, also normal for a long-haired cat. She seems less anxious than she was at first, but I don't think that she's going to be 'social' any time soon. She's going to need a lot of patience. Meanwhile, she's doing OK, although I do miss having a cat who is somewhat more sociable. But my job is to help her begin to feel safe and I'm happy to do the best that I can, even if she never interacts with me.” Patches is a recent GRADUATE from BFF’s sponsor a feral cat program! Patches is approximately 15 years old. She was brought in due to a sudden change of her demeanor at the feeding site. What once was a 100% feral cat became a much more docile one. She also had exhibited some actions (e.g. walking in circles) that scared her feeders into bringing her into the emergency vet. She was pronounced as blind – either due to a stroke or her age. At the moment want to monitor her within the next three months to see if her blindness clears up because it could just be temporary. She also hates other cats, which means she is not happy in her current living situation. What we need ASAP is a place for her to go that will allow her to hopefully transition into a happy indoor only cat. Her ideal home would be one with absolutely no other pets. Also, one that is quiet without a lot of comings & goings. If you think you can provide this for her, please reach out. Patches is approximately 15 years old, fixed and up-to-date on her vaccinations. If you are interested in meeting her, contact Boston's Forgotten Felines on Facebook or at catadoptions@bostonsforgottenfelines.org!
