GETTING TO KNOW ME
Oakley is just a doll of a sweetheart. She has transformed from shy to a fun-loving bucket of personality. She is chatty, greets her foster mom at the door and is smart enough to know that there is big bowl of Honest Kitchen on top of the bookshelf. With smooth, stealthy moves she leaps in a single bound to the top and capably helps herself from the bowl. No need to dirty a food dish for her.
It has been fun to watch her transformation. And there is more to come. Her coat is nearly solid black but has a tiny wisp of white like a gentleman’s tie down her chest.
Oakley really is a gentle girl. She can start out a bit shy and can get overwhelmed. She can be bullied by strong personalities. She will take a bit of time to acclimate to her new home. All the more proof that a special safe space with little threat and just time and patience to start is so important.
A way to her heart is with food. The girl loves to eat. We swear she can hear her breakfast being mixed up several floors away. You will not have to ask her twice to come to dinner. As time passes, she becomes chattier and engaging. She wants to be by her person. Someday she may be a lap kitty.
Her best new home will have a person (or a few) who allows her to make the first moves. A routine with some fun playtime is a must. Allowing her to view her new world from the top of a cat tree, the counter tops and from the window ledges is ideal. Daily chaos with busy schedules and lots of moving feet will not bring out the best in her.
Oakley is perfect with her litterbox. (REMEMBER-Maine Coons need extra-large litterboxes. No covers.) She uses unscented clumping litter. She loves eating her Honest Kitchen, a dehydrated high-grade food. We currently schedule feed to maintain a healthy weight.
VETTING PROVIDED
To ensure ultimate health, Oakley has been examined, been spayed, had a full blood panel, tested negative for FELV/FIV, received rabies and FVRCP vaccines, and received a dental. She is microchipped. Records are provided upon completion of the adoption.
