Meet Cadenza

Meet Cadenza, the epitome of sweetness and charm! This gorgeous tabby has a heart full of love and a passion for snuggles. She’s one of the most outgoing in her litter and is usually the first to come say hello. Cadenza is a curious explorer, and she absolutely adores chasing flies and any other elusive insects that might make their way into your home. She'll keep you entertained for hours with her playful antics as she stalks and pounces on her tiny prey. If you have a sunny windowsill for her to watch the world go by or some interactive toys to keep her entertained, she'll be in heaven. But don't let her hunting skills fool you; when the game is done, she's a champion snuggler. She'll curl up under your chin and nuzzle against your cheek, all the while stealing your heart. Cadenza would do best with one of her siblings (Crescendo, Coda, Pitch, Treble, Trill) or with another feline friend.   Cadenza has a mild case of genetic megacolon, which is a chronic condition that affects the large intestine and can cause severe constipation if left untreated. We discovered this after a few of her littermates had GI issues. Good hydration, stool softeners, and monitoring can help prevent progression of the disease. Cadenza hasn’t had issues to date and is currently doing well with lactulose one to two times daily to be on the safe side—this is a prescription stool softener that can be purchased inexpensively at a human pharmacy. If her condition worsens significantly in the future, she may benefit from enemas or a surgery to remove the affected portion of colon. This surgery can be expensive (~$4500) but does have a good prognosis. We don't know if or when she will require additional care, but adopters should be prepared for potential medical expenses. If the need arises and adopters choose to proceed with surgery, Community Cat will pay $1,000 towards the megacolon surgery bill to help offset the cost.    https://vcahospitals.com/know-your-pet/megacolon-in-cats   Approximate DOB: May 2023 Foster Home Location: Madison     Consider adopting 2 kittens!
