Meet Shasta, a gorgeous gal of about 10 years who has a heart that yearns for a real home as she enjoys her golden years. This sweet senior has been a long-term foster with Creekside, making her way into the hearts of everyone who crosses her path. With great health and fully vetted, she’s ready to find a loving forever family to call her own! 💖 Now, Shasta has quite the backstory. Found outdoors—bless her heart—she came to us already declawed. Unfortunately, that procedure caused some permanent damage to three of her bones, which may explain why she isn’t the usual cuddle bug we all dream of! 😿 It's important to respect her boundaries; she may give a little bite if you get too close for comfort. But don’t let that deter you! Shasta is still an endearing and fun-loving girl who absolutely adores her scratch pad. She loves giving her toes some much-needed love! 🎉 Right now, she is on pain medication that has worked wonders, allowing her to enjoy some gentle petting and touching! 🐾 Just imagine the joys of seeing her come out of her shell—this could be the start of a beautiful friendship! However, keeping her on the pain meds will likely help enhance her quality of life, so it's important to consider how that fits into your plans. Despite being a solitary lady who enjoys her personal space, Shasta is great with other cats and cohabitates well. She currently rocks a stylish lion cut, which not only adds to her charm but also provides her relief from pesky hairballs. Who says beauty can’t be practical? 😉 And let’s be real—finding Shasta that perfect forever home is our mission! That's why we’re even offering a 'foster-to-adopt' trial. It’s a win-win! You get to spend time with Shasta and evaluate if she’s a good fit for you and vice versa. No pressure—just love! ❤️ Now, if Shasta has stolen your heart and you're ready to bring her into your life, the next step is simple. Please **apply through the Buddy App** to adopt this lovely lady! She's waiting for someone to show her the love she truly deserves!
