Meet the wonderful Papaya! 🍊 This stunning six-year-old lady has a unique charm that will warm any heart. She came to the shelter as a stray, and you can just feel the love she’s longing to share! Naturally, being in a new environment has made her a bit shy; but don't worry, she just needs someone special to show her that everything will be alright and that a forever home is on the horizon. Now, here's a fun fact: Did you know that most orange kitties are male? Well, Papaya is the exception and truly a gem among the crowd! 🌟 She carries a little extra layer of sweetness because she has Feline Leukemia (FeLV). But don't let that deter you! The FeLV virus is delicate and can’t survive outside of a cat for long. It primarily spreads through close contact like cuddling or sharing food. This means that she needs to be an indoor kitty, but she can happily coexist with other FeLV cats! 🏡 With the right care, Papaya can lead a happy, fulfilling life, and in return, she promises endless snuggles, delightful purrs, and warm kisses! 💖 Furthermore, she is already spayed and up to date on her vaccines, so you could take this sweetheart home the same day you decide to bring her into your family! Isn’t it about time someone like you gives Papaya a chance at true happiness? If you want to give this beautiful girl the second chance she deserves, don’t forget to *apply through the Buddy App*! Papaya is waiting for that special someone to sweep her off her paws! 🐾
