Rose is an incredibly sweet cat, around one to two years old. She spent her early life as a stray in Texas, even giving birth to a litter before being rescued. While surviving outdoors in South Texas, Rose was bitten by a mosquito and tested positive for heartworms. Heartworm treatment options for cats are limited, so the vets have her on preventative medication to stop new infections. Despite this diagnosis, she is happy and can safely live with other cats. Don't let her condition overshadow just how wonderful and loving she is. Rose is proof that a gentle nature can shine through any challenge. She also gets along well with children, making her a warm addition to many homes. Give her a chance—she might be just the gentle companion you're looking for. Your new best friend is just one click away.
