Description:

Hi! My name is Sophia and I am about 4 years young. I was brought into the Pet Pantry with a lot of other cats from an abandoned home. I do have some things going on, her is a medical note from the staff veterinarian: Sophia came to us from an overcrowded home. She was not well socialized and was not adapting well to caged housing. With her high level of stress, she would pass blood in her urine. She has continued to use her litter box. She has had radiographs, had a bladder ultrasound exam, had a urine culture--all were negative for pathology. She was tried on gabapentin and Z ylkene for anxiety, but would still pass dark urine some days. She was started on fluoxetine about a month ago, and has responded well to it and is doing better behaviorally interacting with people. We feel she still has a stressful evening now and then and will have a recurrence of bloody urine. Sophia needs a quiet stress free home with patient caretakers. She has been eating a urinary diet and seems to eat it well. She likes slow approaches and will now reach out to touch a human finger. She is more comfortable watching and observing from a safe place right now rather than interacting. She is afraid of brushes and back scratchers. She has not engaged in spontaneous play, but given time and feeling safe, we do think she will. To aid her in adjusting to her new environment, we would like to send Sophia home with fluoxetine temporarily. She will eat her medication in canned food (pate) or Churu cat treat. When she seems comfortable and starts exploring, she may be weaned off of her medication. It also may be helpful to offer her litter that monitors blood in her urine by a color change (eg Pretty Litter). Sophia has had a rough go at life so far and we hope the right person can change this for her. She will unlikely be a cat who will sit on laps or being picked up, but she will likely be a good companion to share your life with. I am spayed, microchipped, and up to date on my vaccines. I am available for adoption at the Pet Pantry’s main facility, 26 Millersville Road, Lancaster. If you think I may be the purrfect match for your family please fill out an adoption application! Applications are available at our location as well as online at petpantrylc.org. From there, our adoption coordinator will be in touch!
