About Rey

Meet Rey, an eight-year-old black cat hoping for a place she can finally settle. She loves being petted and enjoys human company, but she does her best as the only cat—other cats just add more stress than she's comfortable with. Rey was recently returned after her family moved, and the upheaval led to accidents outside the litterbox. Since coming back to the shelter, she's started daily Fluoxetine to help manage her stress, and her litterbox use has improved. Veterinary exams have ruled out health issues like urinary tract infections or bladder stones. Rey will need a foster-to-adopt home who can keep up her once-daily medication, which is simply applied to her ear. Once she’s stable, she may be able to stop the meds, though stressful changes could trigger issues again. She’s hoping for a calm, predictable environment and a family ready to be patient as she settles in. Your new best friend is just one click away.
