Mela the Survivor

My story

Introducing Mela, a stunning gray and white kitty born on 5/28/24. Mela's journey to us is nothing short of remarkable. She was discovered in the basement window of an abandoned house in a crime-ridden area, doing her best to care for her kittens. Despite the harsh circumstances, Mela's spirit remained unbroken. Mela is missing her lower leg and foot, but this doesn't slow her down one bit. Whether she was born this way or suffered an accident, we may never know. What we do know is that Mela is a survivor. She navigates her surroundings with ease and has adapted beautifully to indoor living. Playful and sweet, Mela has a penchant for room service, particularly canned food and catnip. She's a joy to be around and her resilience is truly inspiring. Having experienced bullying from other cats on the streets, Mela would prefer to be an only cat. She's looking for a loving home where she can be the center of attention and receive the care she deserves. Mela is spayed, parasite treated, has age appropriate vaccinations, tested negative for both FeLV and FIV an microchipped. If you're looking for a cat with a heart full of love and a spirit full of resilience, Mela could be the perfect addition to your family. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ PLEASE READ: 1) I do home visits for all the cats/kittens for adoption. I am not currently able to adopt to anyone living more than 1 hour outside of Rochester, NY. 2) I require a vet reference and will contact them. 3) Most of the cats in my care come from the streets and have had a bad start in life. They usually would do best in a home with older children and NO dogs. 4) All the cats/kittens that are up for adoption will be spayed/neutered, have age appropriate vaccinations, combo tested and treated for fleas and worms. 5) An approved application is necessary prior to a meet and greet,

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Mela the Survivor, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
