Arrival Story:
I adopted Afer from in January 2004. I loved Afer from the minute I began volunteering there in June 2002. She'd been at the shelter since she was 3 years old (1991). I felt I didn't have room for any more cats, though. She was adopted in the spring of 2003. However, somehow she escaped her new home and was on the streets for months. Finally, someone found her, and through her microchip she found her way back. In January 2004, she spent time in the clinic. That cinched it for me. I couldn't stand it if she spent the rest of her days in the shelter. I took her home, at age 16. She's flourished. She gets night crazies, and loves her catnip mouse. She loves to be brushed and petted, and will do "kitty yoga", practically doing handstands her butt gets so high. She's still nervous of being picked up or restrained, but we're working on that. She's doing extremely well, considering within her first week here I had medicate her. She likes to play with pom pom balls, her catnip mouse, catnip pillows, and plastic rings.

Bio:
Afer was diagnosed with kidney disease in August 2004. Fortunately, with treatment her values are staying fairly stable. I took Afer to the emergency vet clinic Christmas Eve, 2006 with labored breathing. She had 145 cc's of fluid drained from her chest. At this time, we suspect heart disease. She was able to come home Christmas Day, and seems to be doing pretty well. She's less playful than previously, but still enjoys napping in pet tents, licking catnip toys, and some good canned food. A visit to a cardiologist showed nothing significant - minor heart issues and very small nodules on her liver (too small to biopsy). So far, the fluid hasn't recurred. In May 2007, she had a vestibular episode secondary to an ear infection. Scary, but she recovered quickly.
