* Sweet Potato found her forever home with a lovely person! *

Twenty pounds of Sweet Potato love!

Sweet Potato came into Hamilton Animal Control as a stray. How a declawed, twenty pound cat who only wants to take a few steps before laying down becomes a stray is a mystery to us, but we digress…
Despite having a pretty bad flea infestation, and a very dirty bum from not being able to turn to clean it, Sweet Potato is as sweet as they come. HAC staff got her bum cleaned up and administered flea treatment, and she seemed to be very thankful for both those things.
On the day of her rescue, we took Sweet Potato to the vet for a check up and she is healthy, other than needing to lose quite a lot of weight. Her blood results were normal, and she tested negative for FIV and FeLV. Yay! Sweet Potato needs to stay on her current weight loss diet in her forever home

Here’s a note from Sweet Potato’s foster home:
“Sweet Potato is as her name suggests-super sweet! Very purry and friendly, loves pets, being brushed and playing.
Due to her large size, she occasionally does the “butt scoot” on the floor after using the litter box as she can’t reach her back end to clean up. If you keep a mat or carpet near the litter tray, she seems to be good at using the same spot so it’s easy to deal with. She also doesn’t mind her back end being washed with a warm cloth which also keeps things clean back there. Once she loses a bit of weight and can reach, she should start cleaning herself again. It’s very sad that her previous owners let her get so large because she is a sweetheart and dealing very well with her new limited diet!”

Please adopt Sweet Potato!
