Meet Piadora! When Pia's owner, who rescued her from the streets of Oakland, passed away last year, she was left with nowhere to go. Over the past 5 months in foster, she's come a long way. At the beginning, Pia would hide in the deepest parts of her foster home, only venturing out at night or to eat. Lots of trust-building and slow socialization has brought her out of her shell and into the open. Though she is still wary of some strangers and loud noises, she warms up quickly and even runs to the door when she sees her fosters approaching. She loves to come into the bedroom in the morning to cuddle and lay on her fosters' chests and gives kisses and head nudges to anyone who is kind to her. Like a lot of cats, she wants to be picked up on her own terms and will gently let you know when it's too much. Pia, being a senior kitty, is pretty relaxed... until her catnip banana toy comes out and her playfulness shows! Important to note: Pia had stomatitis some time ago and she came into foster with no teeth. Her fosters only feed her wet food but could be introduced to dry food. She was also diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. With medication, her thyroid levels have moved into normal range and can easily be managed. Piadora is around 7.5 years old, spayed, vaccinated, flea treated, dewormed, microchipped, and tested FIV/FeLV negative.
