This gorgeous girl is Kissa! She came to us for sanctuary on 11/1. Her human mom can no longer care for her, due to being in a long term care facility. Kissa and her feline mom waited for almost a year for their human mom to come home. Then Kissa’s feline mom passed away, leaving her all alone. The family did everything they could to check on Kissa multiple times per week, but it was getting to be too much. They all have multiple pets themselves and could not keep her, but love Kissa enough to make sure she was vaccinated and combo tested before bringing her to us.
Update 2022/11/08: Kissa is doing great! She is very sweet and friendly. She rubs on our legs, loves to be pet and allows us to pick her up. We are slowly introducing her to the other cats. Adjusting to living with so many will take time. So far Bea, Izzy, Lulu and Gigi have tried to make her feel welcome!! We have a feeling she’ll do just fine.
Update 2023-03-30: Kissa is a huge sweetie! She loves lap time. She is gorgeous and her hair is soft. Kissa loves to eat (is on prescription urinary food). She likes to hang out with Reyna and Lulu and gets along with them really well. Kissa is very talkative and is not a typical Calico. She is truly an amazing girl!
Update 2025-03-17: It’s always hard finding the right words. Heartbroken is one. We had to say goodbye to our beautiful Kissa on Monday. We are still in shock. She wasn’t feeling well a week ago so we took her to the vet. She was constipated and her x ray also showed signs of arthritis in her lower spine/back. Kissa got an enema, fluids and we started her on Gabapentin. We also suspected she may have had a neuro event of some sort. She was wobbly on her feet and walked really slow. Kissa seemed to start to get better but then had another event that she did not recover from.
Kissa was sweet and sassy and the best kitty beautician. She loved to play in our hair. We miss her so much. There will never be another like her. Kissa, you were one of a kind. We love you!
