BIO: 

Gertie was brought in to a local animal control covered in fleas and weighing only 5 pounds. She had no name and is estimated at 15-16 years old.

We were happy to be able to take in this sweet girl. She has a huge meow for such a tiny body, loves cuddles and drools when she’s happy. Her favourite thing to do it sit in your lap or on your chest.

Gertie was diagnosed with lymphoma (cancer of the lymph nodes) after an ultrasound. She also has arthritis and chronic pancreatitis. All of these conditions are managed with medication and supportive care at her foster home and regular vet visits.

We are thankful she can spend her remaining months in peace and warmth.
