🐾 COURTESY POST 🐾
We’re sharing this post on behalf of a friend who is looking for the right home for a very special girl named Ila.❤️ Ila is a generally healthy, indoor only cat who is looking for someone willing to give her the patience, understanding, and peaceful environment she needs to truly thrive. Ila does struggle with anxiety, and she has also had ongoing issues with defecating outside of the litter box. Her current situation has unfortunately required her to spend a significant amount of time confined to a dog crate, and she frequently cries. Her family has tried numerous resources to help her, including anxiety medication, but she has not tolerated liquid medication well it causes vomiting and foaming. Because of this, her family has made the incredibly difficult decision to look for a new home where Ila may have a better quality of life. But please don’t let her challenges make you overlook her. Ila is not being given up because she isn’t loved. Quite the opposite, her family loves her enough to recognize that the current situation isn’t fair to her and that she may need a different environment to flourish.
We believe Ila may do best in a quiet, calm home with another friendly cat or a small group of cats. She needs someone who understands that she may take time to decompress and who is willing to work with her rather than expect perfection immediately.
Her current owner is also committed to covering the cost of any medication she may need for the rest of her life. And if the placement ultimately isn’t the right fit for Ila, she will always have the option to come back home.
This girl deserves the opportunity to find the environment where she can finally feel safe, comfortable, and content. Her family will be very selective about her placement. This is not a first-come, first-served situation, and the goal is not simply to find Ila a home, it is to find the right home for Ila.
If you or someone you know has experience with anxious cats and feels they could provide Ila with the peaceful, patient home she needs, please reach out to us. 🐱❤️ Please share, even if you aren’t able to adopt. The right person may be just one share away.
