About Gypsy

Gypsy is a striking calico cat at almost 13 lbs. Her prior home was lively, filled with young children, which made her quite stressed and led to some issues. She experiences Feline Idiopathic Cystitis (FIC), a condition that causes her to feel anxious, potentially leading to accidents outside her litter box. A calm environment will be essential for her recovery, so a quieter home is ideal. She cohabited with another cat, so a non-aggressive companion might work for her, but dogs and children could be too overwhelming. When Gypsy first arrived at the shelter, she was understandably frightened and hid. Thankfully, she's now becoming more comfortable and loves affectionate head scratches. She's a sweet and gentle kitty who needs a patient adopter to help her feel secure. With the right environment, Gypsy can truly thrive and show her affectionate side. This lovely cat deserves stability and tranquility to help her blossom. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
