Story
DEE DEE is a darling GRAY SCOTTISH FOLD with greenish eyes and an adorable pixie face. She is 11 months, spayed, has her claws, is up to date on vaccinations, tested negative for FeLV/FIV, and microchipped. She weighs a little over 6 lbs.
Dee Dee found herself tossed out on the streets of Kuwait. Fortunately for this precious little cat, our rescue partner in Kuwait scooped her up before anyone could harm her and then worked diligently to get her transported to the US and into foster care with SPCR.
This super cute fur baby wears a lush, short blue coat with breed-standard blue nose leather and paw pads. As you may know Scottish Folds occurred as a spontaneous mutation in farm cats in Scotland in the 1960s. Unfortunately, the genetic abnormality that causes ear folding in the breed can cause cartilage abnormalities throughout their entire bodies. Individual Scottish Folds can carry one or two copies of the “fold” gene, and cats with two copies are prone to more extreme health problems affecting cartilage and bone.
Dee Dee has small, folded ears. The good news is that we had her tested, and she only carries one copy of the “fold” gene. We also had radiographs done for her. All of these tests will be forwarded to her new family. However, because she carries one copy of the gene, regular wellness vet care is more important than ever.
This gentle lamb has warmed up quite quickly in the relatively short time she’s been with her foster mom. She is a loving, chill, sweet kitty who likes to roll around and show her little tummy for some rubs. She enjoys it when her foster mom swishes a mink wand toy around for her to catch. Other than that, she currently isn’t exactly a play monster, but that may still happen. She also is more of a “low to the ground” kitty; she doesn’t seem to be interested in jumping up onto higher grounds so it would be safe to assume that she is probably not going to jump up on kitchen counters.
She doesn’t seem to be too fond of other kitties, so we would prefer her to go to a home where she can be the only tiny queen of the household. However, she may be okay with a similar breed of cat with proper introductions. Older, respectful kids should be fine for her. Since her foster parents don’t have any dogs, we cannot comment on how she would do with a dog.
Dee Dee is using her litter box perfectly. She eats both wet and dry food so we would like to find her a home that will continue to offer both.
