BIO: Chichi is a sweetie pie with pretty white fur and light blue eyes. Her eyes have been hard to see because she came to us with horribly infected sore eyes. We treated her eyes with medication for several months without resolution and the vet determined she had entropian! This is a condition where there are hairs touching the eyes. She had her first surgery in February and after recovery it was determined she needed a second surgery. She has recovered from both surgeries and is doing great! 

Chichi adores catnip, cozy cave like nap spots and cheek rubs. Chichi has osteoarthritis and walks in an unusual way because of this. She’s now on a monthly pain injection and this helps. The cost is approx $70 per month. Chichi had very bad teeth, but after a dental surgery she is feeling so much better! Chichi is deaf. Chichi does have a heart condition that was discovered and is now on once daily medication to support her. Chichi also has early stage kidney disease and gets a supplement added to her food. 

She has met young children (ages 5-12) and Chichi loved being petted by them! As long as an adult or child sits besides her and moves slowly, Chichi adores pats and will nuzzle your hand enthusiastically. Chichi’s very favourite spot is on a cat tree in a window. We have her heated cat bed there and she spends most of her time snoozing and looking outside. 

Chichi loves heated cat beds! She will not come to you, but if you go to her she practically falls over trying to get cheek rubs and heads pats. She can be picked up but prefers not to be and her back end can be sore from osteoarthritis so we don’t pet her there. She enjoys interactive play time with wand toys. She is currently in a foster home with other cats and tolerates them. She would prefer to be an only pet, but if an adopter is willing to manage the home environment to help Chichi feel comfortable then another calm cat could work.
