Willow - Snowshoe Cat for Adoption in Neffsville, Pennsylvania

Willow was picked up as a stray in Philadelphia and unfortunately bit one of the kids who found her. She was transferred to Journeys and it was only a day or two later that we found she was suffering from a significant pyometra infection (bacterial infection of her uterus). We were able to have the urgent surgery done two days later and she is currently recovering. We don't know what the beginning of her life looked like but she arrived with thinning hair likely due to poor nutrition and completely covered in fleas and flea dirt. She is now eating a health diet and no longer has any fleas!

Willow is a very petite 1-1.5 year old girl with large eyes and a soft "meow". She is understandably very nervous in new situations (she may not like other cats) and we have found that when she gets nervous she can swipe at people (or other cats!) But we think that if she is in a quiet home with no other cats she will really thrive. Until we tried to move Willow into our "foster room" with one overly-friendly cat, we had no problem with her at all - she loved attention, loved to be brushed, and loved head scratches! But she was sadly not happy to move to a shared living space.
