Quintessa
AvailableQuintessa is a small, young, spayed female domestic short hair located in Fishers, IN. She has spent most of her life overcoming major challenges, including being a tripod cat, and has always maintained perfect litterbox habits. Because she is FeLV positive, she requires a home without FeLV-negative cats and would thrive in a quieter environment.
About Quintessa
Quintessa’s story has taken a lot of sharp turns. She came into rescue as a young, stray mom with three newborn kittens and an irreparably injured rear leg. It’s understandable she started out wary and stressed, especially after her leg was amputated and she was still needed by her babies. A foster home gave her some breathing room and she enjoyed mingling with other cats and used her litterbox perfectly, though human affection wasn’t really her thing—petting was tolerated rarely and on her terms. After adoption, life didn’t get much simpler: the noise and unpredictability of a toddler rattled her, and having to share a litterbox with two other cats left her anxious. Quintessa kept her distance, never biting or scratching, but she made it crystal clear when she felt pushed past her comfort zone. Now she’s six, and recent exams show she’s FeLV positive. That means she must only live with other FeLV-positive cats and can’t go into a multi-cat or child-filled home. She needs someone patient, quiet, and willing to let her progress happen slowly—interactive toys, treats, and gentle consistency will help. Her time may be shorter than average, but she still deserves a peaceful home where she can relax and finally feel safe. Give Quintessa the space and understanding she’s been missing.
