Gretchen is a 1-year-old Domestic Shorthaired in Croswell, MI, who needs $90 for Ultrasound and Spay.

Gretchen was found on Election Day. After checking out the neighbors in the area, I discovered she’d been wandering around for approximately three months. No known owner. She is quite thin, had fleas, ear mites, and could be pregnant. She’s currently quarantined in an empty room in my home with a cat fountain, wet food at least twice a day, and kibble out 24/7.

She’s starting to warm up to the house life slowly. She’s taken to the litter box with ease. Is starting to fill out and is fully hydrated, now. She’s quite shy, yet, with all the other animals’ making noise. But she is making progress. Once she’s cleared of quarantine, she’ll be introduced slowly to other animals to see how she does.

Most ferals run away. As you can see in the video, she made herself right at home in no time. She’s such a lover, and deserves that right back. She deserves to be given the chance to be healthy and come out of her shell more. She deserves to be warm and have a full belly at all times. The bar is low, but for a once feral cat? It’s the world.

She was tested for FLV, dewormed, and received her shots today. However, we fear she’s pregnant. She has an ultrasound coming up, and if she does have any? She’ll be spayed asap, due to risks of complications with her being so thin and young. Not to mention the high odds of rejection due to all her new surroundings.

I hadn’t planned on bringing another cat into my home. But, I am currently fostering her. With the holidays and my other animals’ health needs, money is tight. Every penny helps. It’s not necessary, but always so appreciated!
