Contact: Daniel Bovee Phone Number: 989-378-7367 Pet Name: Dixie Age: Approximately 3–4 years Weight: About 5 pounds Breed: Medium Calico Spay/Vaccination Status: Spayed at MCHS; vaccination history unknown Housebroken: Does not currently use a litter box Dixie is a beautiful, loving, and very affectionate cat who enjoys being close to her people. She does well with children of all ages and can coexist with other cats and dogs after a slow, patient introduction period. Dixie has some special care needs that her future home should be prepared for. She is believed to be sensitive or allergic to fleas and currently requires a cone and clothing to help prevent excessive itching and licking. She also experiences digestive issues if her diet and routine are not carefully monitored. Dixie does best in a warm environment and will need continued observation and consistency to stay comfortable. At this time, Dixie does not use a traditional litter box and has been using the shower instead. Her new family should be willing to work patiently with her and consult a veterinarian or behavior professional to help address this. Dixie is a sweet soul who needs an understanding, attentive home willing to provide the extra care she requires. With patience and love, she has the potential to be a deeply devoted companion.
