Zinnia - American Bobtail and Calico Cat for Adoption in Lucedale, Mississippi

Zinnia is a resilient girl, she has overcome so much. This sweet little bobtail came into our care so very pitiful and hanging on by a thread. She had a severe upper respiratory infection and she was also battle Calicivirus. She battled through it for months, and now that she is all healed up, she is left with cloudy eyes but she does have vision. She can track the mice on her cat tv with the best of them!

Because she had a highly infectious virus, we had to isolate her from other cats while she was recovering. So her constant companion and bff has been a tiny chihuahua puppy, named Spunky. These two have shared toys and even a hammock. Zinnia got her first kitten friend to romp and play will recently and she couldn't be happier. She is a true snuggle bug, loves to sleep in bed with her foster, she is a little purr machine and she has the SOFTEST fur!

This little fighter is ready for the next chapter in her life. She does well with small dogs and would love to have a small dog or kitten companion in her new home.

Adoption/Transport fee for Zinnia is $250 This will cover all vetting and transport to the town near this listing.
