Help with our cat

Syracuse NY

Description

If anyone out there is looking to adopt a senior cat (16 years old) who is very lovable and quite active, and who has the ability to help us out of a very difficult situation, please, please let us know. We are in a situation where we will very soon not be able to keep our cat Bella. She has been our cat since she was a tiny kitten, and we really do not want to part with her; but are in a situation where it will be impossible for us to keep her. We just cannot bring ourselves to turn her over to a shelter or a senior sanctuary where she will be kept in a cage with hopes of adoption, but more likely to be euthanized. This would leave a wound in our heart that would never heal. As a senior cat Bella, does have some issues; but that are easily controlled. She is a beautiful calico cat, mostly deaf and, per the vet, has early kidney disease. She is a very lively and active cat, will play fetch with a bottle cap, and happy when she is not bored. She loves to “hunt” and, when we lived in the country, has captured mice and other rodents, including a bat in mid-flight when it infiltrated our house. When bored, unless on Tresadone for calmness, she sometimes cries and/or yowls. While Bella has been an indoor cat (our misguided attempt at protecting her), she longs for being outdoors, and we would like anyone who would adopt her, to let her roam outdoors, knowing that the outdoor stimuli will relieve her boredom and greatly improve her life. We are simply not in a living situation where we could do that ourselves. If you can generously help us, we would be eternally grateful. Some pictures follow.:
