Octavia

Hi, my name is Octavia! I’m a one-year-old kitty looking for my forever family. I’ll bring lots of life into your home: I’m playful, full of energy, and always ready for fun! I’m also very affectionate with my humans and I purr constantly, even if I’m not really the lap-cat type.

​

Even though I come from the street, I’m truly sweet. I love being petted, though like many cats I don’t enjoy being picked up. When I play, I make sure to keep my claws tucked in so I don’t hurt anyone—yes, I’m that delicate! I also enjoy watching the world outside through the window.

​

I think I’d really love living with children, to have friends to play with. A good play session every evening is a must—a simple string toy will do the trick as it's my favourite! I’m looking for a family who will take the time to make me run and jump to my heart’s content.

​

I have my little ways at home: I adore “my” rocking chair and my cozy cardboard box. I settled in quickly! I’m very talkative—I meow quite a bit, especially in the morning, because I want human company. Early risers would probably be the best match for me! And plants should be kept out of reach, since I like nibbling on them, which is dangerous as some are harmful to cats.

​

I was taken in by the organization a few months ago. I had two surgeries to remove my tumors, and thankfully that issue is behind me. But I did end up hospitalized for a kidney infection, which left me with permanent kidney damage.

Now I just need a special veterinary diet and bloodwork every 6–12 months to monitor my kidney values. Because of this, I’m available for compassionate adoption. It’s also important that I remain strictly indoors—I have a fragile health, and I don’t get along with dogs or cats.

​

Life hasn’t been easy since my rescue, but I’m finally ready to spread my wings! I’m so grateful for this second chance, and hope to quickly find a family who will love me despite my little difference.
