It's me, Happy! Don't my quirky eyes add to my charm?!

It's Adopt a Senior Pet Month and what better way to celebrate than with me, Happy, Paws & Prayers most senior pet available for adoption right now, as the Pet of the Month!

I'm a mature, 9 years young.  Really, you wouldn't know my age without my file.  I'm active, affectionate and love your attention.  With my easy going attitude I know I'll make a great addition to your home and in return I promise a lifetime of love and friendship! 

Look how cute I am!

I've been at Paws & Prayers since mid-September.  My typical day starts off with a morning feeding and loving pets and attention from the Paws & Prayers staff and volunteers.  Then I go through the typical routine of grooming and settling in for a nap.  Then I start all over when dinner time rolls around.  I have toys to play with and blankets to cuddle in.  But my cage is too small to really run out my silly energy bursts I get.  I can't wait to have a furever home to run around in and call my own.

Hey, come here and love on me some more!

I almost found my furever home about a month ago at a Petsmart adoption event but it was noticed that I seemed to be sick with a cold.  I was checked out and diagnosed with a chronic upper respiratory infection.  Upper respiratory infections are very common in rescue cats and are brought on by stress.  Just like a common cold in humans, most kitties are back to feeling like themselves in a week or two.

I however will always experience symptoms that will never 100% go away.  But don't worry, it's manageable with basic, cost effective medicine, a healthy diet and lots of love!  It's not contagious to humans or other animals, only between cats.  So I will have to be the only kitty in my new furever home.

I love to roll around and be silly!

I don't even know I'm supposed to be feeling sick though.  I just want to soak up all of your love and attention.  I love to roll around and cuddle with you.  I purr up a storm, too!  And I get along with everyone!  Won't you please give me the loving furever home I long for?  I will be forever grateful. My adoption fee is $40 which includes my spay and up-to-date routine shots and vaccines.   Please  fill out an application for me today at www.pawsandprayers.org!
