Pumpkin

Description

As a classic calico, Pumpkin has enough sweetheart personality to completely power a small city! Fully grown at around 3 years old and weighing a petite 7.4 pounds, this stunning girl is the perfect, colorful mix of spunky "cali-tude" and deep, purring affection. Pumpkin is Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) positive, but please do not let that diagnosis scare you! FIV-positive cats live long, happy, and completely normal lives. Because FIV only spreads to other felines through deep, vicious bite wounds, Pumpkin can safely live with other non-aggressive, FIV-negative cats, though she would also thrive as your one-and-only queen or in a home with other FIV-positive friends. She is simply looking for a cozy environment with humans who appreciate a cat with a big personality, and she promises to pay you back in a lifetime of endless purrs, cuddle sessions, and affectionate headbutts. To keep her immune system strong and healthy, Pumpkin requires high-quality food, regular annual vet checkups, and a strictly indoor-only lifestyle. She is already fully vetted—meaning she is spayed, vaccinated, combo-tested, dewormed, and microchipped—and ready to settle down. If you have any other pets in the household, our rescue requires that they are fully spayed or neutered and completely up to date on all of their vaccines. Additionally, we will never send Pumpkin to a home where she will be subjected to declawing. We stand firmly against this harmful surgical practice because it causes permanent physical pain, nerve damage, and severe behavioral struggles for cats. If you are ready to open your heart to this vibrant, loving calico girl, there are two simple ways to meet her. You can fill out an online cat adoption application right now at dreamhouserescue.org, and our team will gladly arrange a private meet-and-greet for approved applicants. You can also come see her big personality in person at our weekly adoption event, held every single Saturday from 11:30 AM to 1:30 PM at PetSmart Eastgate.
