About Egypt

Egypt is a shy little girl weighing 7.1 pounds. At 1 year and 7 months old, she has a mostly white coat with grey spots. Recently transferred from a shelter, she’s been through quite a bit of change. Despite some initial challenges, including a minor spay incision issue and a C/D diet for urinary health, she's feeling much better now. Egypt prefers a calm and gentle approach, sometimes scurrying away when startled. Initially hesitant, she lets people approach, especially if they offer a soft touch. This pretty girl has striking grey markings on her face, ears, and body. Sadly, Egypt tested positive for Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV), which means she needs to be in a home without FeLV-negative cats. While her lifespan may be shorter than average, she can still enjoy a happy life filled with love. Adopting Egypt is a noble choice, giving her a chance to thrive despite the odds. Don't overlook this sweet cat; she's waiting for someone special to offer her a loving home. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
