About Morty

Morty is a vocal and affectionate kitty who isn’t shy about expressing her desires. She has a particular fondness for Churu cat treats and can often be found lounging in the highest spots around the house, enjoying a good view. While Morty loves the company of other cats, she tends to get stressed around dogs and prefers a calm environment without canines. This sweet girl has tested positive for feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV), so it’s best for her to be an only cat or share her space with fellow FIV+ companions. Morty may take a bit of time to adjust to new situations, having a fearful side that needs gentle understanding. If you can offer her a quiet home, she will thrive and bring joy into your life.
