Meet Aya, she is our well rounded tender heart Calico adult kitty. We were called to save her.  Save her life, actually.  She was living, being loved, but also neglected. She was kept alone for long periods of time, given food as a emotional support. Her long beautiful coat of fur was never brushed.  This caused her once-beautiful long hair to be in dreadlocks where she could barely walk. She gained weight 18 pounds because of it. Now this champ of a tender heart  is under the proper care and she is loving every minute if it. She has received the lion cut, showing of her details. Yes, her hair will grow back. Despite this, her blood work is top notch, her body is strong and she now eats a simple and nourishing diet, and has lost 2 pounds already. She will need to continue this diet, which is super simple to follow and she has no complaints.

Fast forward almost a month and she is running after toys and playing which was not possible before.  She is starting to feel like a cat again as best as we can tell.

This neglect did not negatively affect her personality and she is the sweetest kitty ever.  Here are a few points from her foster family: Very sweet and gentle. Loves to play with laser light. She purrs loudly and loves belly rubs. It will take her a few days to settle into her new home, but once she does, she will be the sweetest, most loving kitty ever. She would be super happy as the only cat, not familiar with dogs so that would probably not be a good idea to introduce her to a dog. She has been fine around a very sweet child of 7 years old who knows the boundaries of an adult kitty. A quieter home with patience and understanding to allow her to settle in and find her comfort zone. It wont take her long and she will most likely find you as her friend and buddy.
