Nyssa
* Nyssa found her forever home with wonderful people! Congrats, Nyssa! *
Someone abandoned Nyssa between the doors of an apartment building. Hamilton Animal Services was called, and she was brought to the shelter. Nobody came forward to claim Nyssa, and she waited at the shelter for quite a while before we were able to take her in.
We had Nyssa spayed, and everything went well with the surgery. It was a good thing Nyssa was spayed when she was, because her uterus was huge, and had the beginnings of what would have been a serious infection.
Nyssa recovered perfectly, but then she developed allergies. She was scratching her fur to the point that she had to wear a cone to stop it. After adjustments to food and medication, Nyssa is finally itch free, and is ready to find her forever home!
Here’s a note from Nyssa’s foster mom:
“If you are in need of a friend who is playful, chatty and snuggly, Nyssa is the friend for you! Nyssa is a young cat who has the energy of a kitten, the snuggles of a senior and the chattiness of an extrovert who has been stuck inside for 2 years.
Nyssa is great with any dogs in the house. She was comfortable within 20 minutes of coming to her foster home. She is a bit bossy and isn’t afraid to put them in their place, but hadn’t been aggressive to the dogs in the house or any dogs that come to visit. She hasn’t been around any cats, but with proper introduction, we are sure she would be fine.
Nyssa has some serious prey drive, so toys that she can chase and destroy are necessary. She also loves sitting in the window and watching the birds. Nyssa also loves a lap or a bed to snuggle. She currently sleeps on her foster family’s bed. She also loves snuggling under the blankets. She is an expert at making biscuits.
Nyssa has some serious love of food. She is extremely chatty around dinner time and will start to get hangry when we are a bit slow at getting her food together. She is currently on a high fiber and hypoallergenic food to combat allergies. She also gets a small dose of steroids once a day to help combat her allergies to environmental allergens.
Nyssa keeps us laughing and entertained with all her antics.”
