CONSTANCE

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+
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
Fall 2024 Update: This past summer, I’ve been much more of a slow poke. I’ve not been as active as previously and will patiently wait for the humans to come and say “Hi” to me vs vice versa. It’s perhaps a new phase in my life? In any event, I’ve been working hard in not letting the other kitties in the room get the most and best of me. More recently, we had a couple of new kitties join our ranks and so far so good. I’m able to let them do drive by walks near me and we agree to simply ignore each other. Whew! I am still a creature of habit in terms of where you can find me in my room. Most days I’ll be soaking up sun on a shelf in my room but on occasion, I’ll slip outside and find a warm, quiet spot on a cat tree on the catio. With my health in check, I still hold out hope that the next person coming through the main door is here to interview me for my new pet position. I remain hopeful.

Spring 2024 Update: “I yam who I yam,” explains our pretty lady CONSTANCE. Constance has been working hard at accepting some of the “turn” in her room. With cats heading home and some new arrivals shaking up the status quo, Constance has done a good job in remaining pleasant and relatively unreactive to the new cats. Preferring a cat free environment, daily she is tested but is holding her own and politely asking for some human attention as volunteers come in to sit and socialize everyone. Constance is right in the thick of things as gentle pets and strokes are doled out on the turquoise steps by one of her fave humans, Scott. Constance remains in good health…a bit on the chunky side..but in the big picture she’s doing terrific. Constance still has her eye on the ultimate prize of heading home so she happily works on her interviewing skills as folks stop by to say “Hi.”
