Muffin is a nine-year-old female cat, who’s owner tragically passed away, and she is looking for her forever home.
Muffin was surrendered to the shelter at the beginning of June along with her male brother who has recently been adopted. Both cats lived in the same home and were well taken care of by their dedicated owner. He passed away not too long ago leaving the two cats alone and looking for new homes.
Muffin was born in June of 2017 and has the energy of a new kitten. She enjoys receiving affection, and will expose her belly to show appreciation. Being picked up and carried is not one of her favorite things. Getting her to sit still for a good picture is quite a task because she’s constantly rolling over asking for pets and scratches.
When this sweet girl first arrived at the shelter, she was a little overwhelmed and stand-offish. She wasn’t eating much and lost weight her first couple of weeks. She had been with the same owner since she was a kitten so no one blamed her for being scared and shutting down for a while.
Employees gave her the space she needed and she eventually began to interact and started eating all she was given, especially enjoying treats. Her weight now has been rapidly increasing and she has slowly become a loving, playful and energetic little sweetheart. Other cats don’t seem to bother her at all, but she hasn’t been tested around dogs.
Muffin has been flea-treated, dewormed and has received two in a series of three FVRCP shots. She has an appointment scheduled on Aug. 12 to receive her rabies vaccination, microchip and spay.
Call at 309-852-0040 or stop in at the animal shelter during visiting hours. This precious little girl deserves a chance at another home where she can once again feel safe and secure. Adoption fee is $60.
