Tortie Calico Cat - small rehoming fee

Riverbend Dr SW near Butterworth Dr SW, Wyoming MI

Description

Text Preferred. Small re-homing fee required. This striking Tortie Calico girl is Cider. She showed up outside over a year and a half ago during a cold snap. We brought her in and got her up to date with the vet. She had a tipped ear and was already spayed. Unfortunately for us she really needs to be an only cat. She absolutely hates our other cat. She has qualities that would be great for someone who wants a low maintenance, non-clingy, only cat. While she’s not cuddly, she really likes to be around her people. She prefers to hang out nearby or next to you, but not on your lap. I doubt you're going to wake up shoved to the edge of your bed while she takes the middle, or with her laying on your head. Cat owners - you know what I'm talking about. Also, if you leave for the weekend I don't think you'll get a bunch of attitude when you return. However, I can't be certain of this. Cider likes head scratches, will purr, and loves to play, but she’s not a cat you can “wrestle” with. We only play with her with toys, not hands. This is probably a good rule for any cat though! We've had cats and she has some huge pluses: she has flawless litter box manners (we use a large covered box to reduce litter scatter) and she has been excellent about using her scratch pads instead of our furniture. She's been to the vet a few times for standard check-ups and nail trims and she is a "freezer" at the vet. As in fight, flight, or freeze. This makes vetting easy. She's also relatively unafraid of the vacuum! We've tried acclimating her with our cat and it's simply not working. We have consulted with the vet and even have her on Prozac. Our cat has been around other felines so we think the issue is hers. Unfortunately, her inability to live with him means she resides in a downstairs living area. She gets attention and has windows to look out of, it's just stressful making sure all barriers are secure so she cannot get to our cat. Plus it feels like she's not quite part of the family. Sad as it is we think it’d be best to let Cider move on to a home where she can be the one and only queen of the castle. She’s around 2.5 years old and about 8 pounds. It will take time for her to adjust to new people and a new home. Given her personality, I would suggest a quiet home with no small children. Considering her exemplary indoor manners I really want her to be an indoor cat, but would consider a quiet (in other words - not your welding shop) heated building situation in which someone wants natural pest control. Several species around your home would go extinct if this little one were turned loose. I’ve no idea how she would interact with dogs. I would really like a veterinary reference and a small re-homing fee of $25 just to make sure she is going to home that has good intentions. This fee will include food, heated cat pad (which she loves), litter, toys and scratch pad. Text preferred.
