Gigi, AKA - Girly Girl, is a very interesting gal! She may have scars from her previous life on the streets, but is completely comfortable indoors. Her foster parent has taken a great effort in catering to Gigi's many interests, as she explores her love for athleticism, play time, and fish treats. Gigi loves to jump to tall heights on her cat tree and running up and down the stairs. She even has a treadmill for those days when she needs to burn off more energy. Gigi is also extremely smart and is motivated by fish treats to learn tricks, especially when jumping into her carrier. She hopes to one day be able to go on an adventure in it. Not only is she a good listener, but she is certainly a talker, constantly meowing back. Gigi is a confident and assertive girl and will flop over in a goofy way to ask for pets. She loves to be with others and doesn't like to be left alone. Meet this Girly Girl and explore her many sides! ++++++++++++++++++++ Settling In: Embracing the Rule of Threes Transitioning to a new environment is quite a journey for a cat. To assist with this, we like to remember the Rule of Threes, a timeline to help you gauge your new cat's acclimation: • 3 Days: Time to unwind and begin to understand their new surroundings. Feeling safe. • 3 Weeks: Familiarization with their new home and daily routines. Knowing their home means they’re easier to get back home if lost. • 3 Months: Full integration into the family, truly feeling at home, personality comes alive. They blossom! Remember, patience is key! Behavioral changes are part of the process. For more insights on acclimation, head to our FAQ section at https://www.feralaffairs.org/faq/. Our Promise for Every Cat and Kitten: Before coming home with you, each cat is: • Spayed/neutered to promote their health and wellbeing. • Vaccinated, including rabies & FVRCP, to protect against diseases. • Microchipped for an added security blanket - to reunite you when picked up and scanned. • Screened for FIV & FeLV, ensuring they start off healthy. • Treated to remain parasite-free, because comfort matters. • Given any additional veterinary care needed for ongoing health issues. • Sent home with a full medical history to hand to your vet’s office.
