Pet of the Week: No

Tracey is a beautiful ~2-yr-old solid gray female with medium-length soft, silky fur.  We think she’s a Persian mix or a Nebelung mix.  She was found in the parking lot of an animal shelter.  Whoever disposed of her didn’t even have the decency to take her inside.  To make matters worse, Tracey is declawed, making her defenseless should she have met a predator while outside.  Tracey was taken to the vet immediately after being found.  She appeared to be in good health and her tummy was shaved to determine if she had been spayed.  That’s when the vet noticed what she thought was a hernia and scheduled Tracey to come back for minor surgery.  What the vet actually found in Tracey’s “lumpy” abdomen was not a hernia, but 3 large punctures that had healed over externally but needed to be surgically closed internally.  She had probably been attacked by a dog.  Tracey healed amazingly quickly and is as good as new, but understandably does not like to be touched on her tummy too much.  Tracey’s ideal home would be with a quiet couple, without dogs or other cats, who will let her decide when she wants attention.  Tracey likes to be with people, and will happily sit by you on the couch, but she doesn’t care to be fussed over.  She likes to be brushed and stroked, but in small doses.  If she’s had too much, she lets you know.  Tracey has excellent litter box habits and keeps herself well groomed.  Tracey has already been spayed, has tested negative for FELV and FIV (feline immune virus), has an identification micro-chip, and is current on her vaccinations.  If you are interested in giving Tracey her forever home, please fill out the cat consultation form (on the website www.desertpawsrescue.org) or email hadleyd@cox.net.
