CONSTANCE
10/01/2020
Female
DSH- White coat and a black cow pattern. Black “heart” on the tip of her nose!
HISTORY: Constance was found as a stray in a county with a high kill shelter. She was initially taken in for fostering when her foster mom learned she was pregnant. She had a litter of 5 kittens end of July. The kittens tested negative for FIV+ early winter and have been rehomed. We accepted Constance into our program as she was out of options.
MEDICAL NOTE: FIV+
Fall Update 2025: I heard a volunteer comment about me, “She’s consistently Constance.” Hmm. What does that mean? Well, I’m thinking it means I’m still keeping to myself, not looking to interact much with the others in my room and here’s the zinger…getting almost close to a bikini weather body, but yet falling short of that goal. LOL. Still, it’s all good. I’ve seen several kitties come and go in my room and I casually take in all the action from my window perch. I get some regular pets and scratches from the volunteers and that always makes me smile. I might even join them for a few minutes should they sit on that blue stool near my window ledge spot. I’m never in much of a rush and life is good for me. With my health intact and daily room and house keeping service, I know I’m a lucky girl. Constance
Spring Update 2025: I’m going to give myself a pat on my back. We’ve had a few new kitties added to the room and I’ve been a good girl. While I am not the welcoming committee by any stretch of the imagination, still I am not being a bully and making their transition difficult. As you know, I’m not a huge fan of other kitties but I’ve been keeping to myself and did I mention, I’ve been a good girl? LOL. The highlight of my day is no doubt when the humans come in. I keep a keen eye out for Volunteer Scott as he’s always good for some very skilled body rubs. It’s possible I may sneak up behind him looking for attention when he is on a set of steps in the room and when I see his lap is already taken…Uh, likely it’s Binx…I politely keep my distance and simply deliver a nice “Hiss” and go about my business. I’m in good health and look forward to the long, lazy days of summer ahead.
Winter Update 2025: It’s not even close to spring and already one of my human volunteer admirers, Scott is remarking on how good I look having lost some pounds. Bikini weather is still a good ways away but I can smile now knowing that maybe I’ll really look terrific when it’s time to soak up the rays in the summertime heat! LOL. Before the summer is here, when you come a callin,’ you’ll find me mostly inside on the window ledge in the most sunny spot. As you may have heard, we’ve recently welcomed in a couple of new felines to my room. I’ve been a good girl in mostly ignoring them and letting them settle in. I’m not a huge fan of other kitties (as you know), so I’m acting all grown up and being kind. Back to my friend Scott, he makes sure on his bi-weekly visits to give me some gentle pets and words of encouragement. He’s a nice man and I feel he understands me. With no new health issues, I’m on track to sport that summertime bikini down the road unless my new family finds me in the interim. I’m living a peaceful life and I am grateful. CONSTANCE
