You know we love royalty around here! First came Reyna (Queen B), then Lord Elrond, and now we’re happy to introduce you to the latest addition to the Serenity family. Meet Princess! Friends of Indianapolis Dogs Outside (FIDO) contacted us to see if we had room for her.
Princess’s original owner could no longer care for her after having housing issues. Princess went from being an indoor cat to being outdoors and was out in the cold too long resulting in frostbite in one of her ears. Unfortunately that ear had to be amputated.
Friends of Indianapolis Dogs Outside and Indy Neighborhood Cats did a phenomenal job getting Princess the medical care she needed and paid for her vaccinations. It is an honor to link arms together with such great organizations making a huge difference in the lives of animals.
Update 2022-06-09: Oh my goodness! Princess might just be the most affectionate cat alive! Her favorite thing in life is to nap on her human’s lap. She is so mild mannered and gets along with all the other cats. Princess will stand up for herself if she has to, but mainly walks away with her feelings hurt. Her amputated ear bleeds sometimes due to her scratching it but that is the only health issue we know of. Princess is active and will play with a spring shaped toy by herself. We try to play with her but she doesn’t seem to understand that concept. At 17 years old, somehow, someway, she can scale a 6-foot folding screen! It leaves us bewildered every time!
Update 2022-12-23: It was with very heavy hearts that we had to say goodbye to Princess. Her skin cancer had spread from her ear into her face. She had good quality of life up until the last couple days. She started getting weak (even though she was still eating and drinking) and getting wobbly. We made the decision before she started to suffer.
Princess got along with all the other cats at the sanctuary and all of the cats and dogs in her separate foster home. She would climb up our legs to get us to pick her up, put her on a shoulder and carry her around like a baby. Princess loved sitting at the dinner table with her family and was mischievous enough to climb on top of it a time or two. She loved being on our laps or lay beside us or her furry friends.
Everyone that knew Princess instantly fell in love with her. We have never known a cat like her. She was one of a kind. Words cannot express how much we miss her.
