GETTING TO KNOW ME
Trixiebelle is a fairy tale kitty that is a Rex lover’s dream. She is petite, lean and lanky from the tips of her toes to her ears. Her coat is thin, short, wavy and non-greasy. Her eyes are a bright, bright yellow that catch every single move around her. She has one speed-HIGH. Trixiebelle moves fast, always. Whether she is running, playing, jumping or launching herself from stairs, up on the counter, or across the furniture, expect this to be her norm. If this is not your style, Trixiebelle is not the girl for you. She is petite at just six pounds but when she comes flying onto your belly from above, she is a 6-pound brick. 😊
Trixiebelle loves to play with other cats. She MUST have a high-octane cat companion who wants to play with another cat friend. Trixiebelle is no wall flower and might be best described as a tomboy. She will tousle and wrestle and has little fear of rough play. (Rough play is different from attacking with intent to injure.) When it is time to rest, she wants to have another kitty to snuggle with and burrow undercover. A soft, thick fleece and a human lap are pretty darn awesome too.
Trixiebelle is litterbox perfect with her choice of several open boxes with unscented clumping litter, no cover, no liners. This girl likes to EAT and is enjoying scheduled feeding of Honest Kitchen and Primal. Given how much she enjoys eating, we do not recommend free feeding as she might eat herself into obesity which would be detrimental in general to her health and in particular to her declawed front paws.
Trixiebelle will do fine in an adult household or with older cat experienced kids. When she is in full play mode, she flies around, launches herself onto people and can get nibbly. She would not be appropriate with younger kids/toddlers/infants. She MUST have a high energy cat companion in the household and would be fine with a dog that respects her.
VETTING PROVIDED
Exam, spayed, tested negative for FELV/FIV, FVRCP and rabies vaccinated, wormed and is microchipped.
She came into rescue front declawed. We have done x-rays of the front paws to look for bone fragments and tendon contraction that will cause pain and arthritis as she ages. No bone fragments were detected and at this time the tendons are okay. However, since her declaw was recent and she is young, this can become problematic as she ages. We are looking for an adopter who will continue to do x-rays on those front paws and do declaw repair surgery in the future if necessary.
