As preparation for giving her up for adoption I took Arabella to the vet's today to get her checked out and to update her shots.
She has a microchip in her, which is interesting. She's lost a few teeth but otherwise she's in wonderful health. We got her shots, and she'll go back for boosters in a few weeks.
She clearly doesn't like the cat transporter. In it she weighed 9.6 pounds, so subtract the weight of the cage and you've got a very small kitty. The vet and her assistant gave me some advice as to where I may be able to put her up for adoption.
Yesterday I drove over to the senior center here in Beaverton, but it was closed for the holiday. Arabella would make a fine indoor lap cat and companion for a senior. She's very friendly and loves to cuddle and be petted.
When we got home from the vet's I gave her a few of her favorite treats. She hopped up and sat in my lap for awhile. Now she's back in her bed, taking another catnap.
