Arrival Story:
Freckles original owner was an old lady with a bunch of cats who became ill and had to go into a nursing home. Freckles had been neglected for a long time and was really sick and her family brought her to my vets to be euthanised. Luckily a vet tech pleaded with the vet who owned the practice and they took her in and started nursing her back to health. I'd seen her there but wasn't sure if I was ready to adopt another senior cat since I hadn't long adopted Minxy. A week later there was a small electrical fire at the vets no one/no cats hurt but they needed to get all the cats fostered out until the electrician could check everything and make sure there was no fire risk. I took Freckles for "a few days" but she was so sweet I couldn't send her back to living in a cage. When Freckles was rescued she had bartonella, untreated URI/sinus infections and trouble breathing, ear mites/ears blocked with gunk & wax and was very skinny. She's back to a healthy weight and in good health now except that she snuffles a bit and gets recurring sinus infections. I'm hoping that the holistic vet treatments and accupuncture will help with that longer term and we're also treating them with antibiotics as needed.

Bio:
Freckles is very chatty and meows back when you talk to her. She loves to be stroked and purrs and sticks her chin out to be rubbed. She didn't like toys at first but now she plays with toy mice and loves the fishing pole toy best of all. Freckles is a very loving cat and smooches and headbutts you when you pet her. Freckles is not a particularly brave or aggressive cat but my other cats are so wimpy that she automatically became the new queen of the cats when Minxy passed away. She doesn't rule with an iron fist like Minxy did but the other cats get out of her way and let her eat 1st
