NS SPCA Adoptable highlights – Hawthorne
Hawthorne
Approx Age: 8 years
Gender: Female
Site: Dartmouth
Hawthorne is an extremely independent kitty who would be very good as an only cat, and she loves chin scratches and catnip. She’s very shy at first but once she warms up to you, she’ll be in your general vicinity at all times.
She came into the SPCA missing a whole bunch of fur from over grooming, but thankfully we were able to figure out that it was allergies that are easily kept under control with the right diet and long term medication.
The lady would be best suited for a home without other pets as she can get a bit stressed out, and i think she would enjoy all the love and attention for herself 🙂
She is currently in foster and here is what her foster had to say about her. Meet Hawthorne, a sweet, shy kitty about 7 year old. While she is very timid and doesn’t like change of any sort, Hawthorne is a friendly and affectionate companion once she sees that you mean her no harm. She loves to curl up on blankets in front of windows or close beside her human. She’s not a lap sitter but she likes to be near, receiving many ear-scratches and purring loudly.
It is important to note that Hawthorne has food allergies and arthritis in her back legs. She will need to take pain and allergy medications twice a day and eat special food for the remainder of her life. Non-clumping litter is also required. Due to severe anxiety, it is also necessary that Hawthorne be the only pet in the home. She is wary of children, so an adult-only home is also strongly suggested.
All this said, Hawthorne is a delightful companion and a sweet addition to the home. You won’t regret welcoming her into your heart!
Hawthorn is available for adoption through the Dartmouth SPCA in her foster home. If interested in adding them to your home please submit an online application in order to arrange a meeting where he is currently in a foster home.
