Pasta is about 10 months old as of August, 2026. Born outside, she was saved by a caring community member who cared for her until we could get her into rescue. She is a beautiful, fully socialized sweet girl who enjoys snuggling and love from her humans when she is not too busy playing. She likes to talk and loves to groom hands finger to finger! Pasta is an asthmatic cat with her symptoms effectively controlled with a minimal dose of steroids every other day; $27.00 annually. Even with recent wild fires and hot humid temperatures in her area, she had no symptoms! She will need a family who can monitor her condition and care of her as needed. It may be that the steroids can be reduced even further or that her new family would like to move to an inhaler to control her symptoms. Whatever the family chooses, she deserves it and she will be a perfect fit into any home that can give her some time to adjust in segregation and properly introduce her to other pets. She is so beautiful! Fully spayed and vaccinated. Adopt Pasta today. Approved applications will be contacted within 48 hours.
