Traci Mae Needs a Real Home

Traci Mae has certainly done enough time in a shelter.  My heart breaks for her EVERY day.  When I met Traci Mae she had already spent time at the shelter where my daughters work.  She was so unhappy there that I brought her here so her life might be better while she waited for a home.  She was considered virtually unadoptable at the shelter.  In fact, you might remember that someone who went through looking at the cats there called Traci Mae “ugly.”  In addition to being sad at the shelter, her eyes continuously ran.  She’d been to the vet but her eyes continued to run.  I wondered if maybe stress had something to do with it.  I hoped moving Traci Mae from a small enclosure (where she was at the time in the shelter) to the roominess of the cathouse would make her happier and healthier.  The decision was made to make Traci Mae a Winnie's Wisher.  Her eyes did actually get better for a while.  But now they run again – more days than not.   She has received veterinary care for those eyes and they only clear up for short periods of time.  I put her on Viralys for an extended period, but there was only mild improvement.  I do still wonder if this condition is exacerbated by stress.  I think Traci Mae feels stress on a daily basis.   She spends a lot of her time trying to stay out of the way of the other cats.  There are just too many cats in the cathouse for her to ever be completely relaxed.   It’s also possible she has a food allergy – something that I can’t treat here.  

 Traci Mae comes across as a loner, but it might just be that she needs a more settled environment.  What is so sad about her existence is that when I find where she’s curled up and I start petting her, she purrs and purrs and purrs.  I SO wish she could have a home with a person who would shower her with attention.   This gal needs a real home with a loving human.  She is already six and a half years old.  She needs to be chosen soon so she can start living The Good Life.

 I wish we could get THIS post seen by 1,000 people.  If you’re reading this on Facebook, won’t you please SHARE.  YOU might be the person who makes the connection between senior kitty Traci Mae and her perfect forever home. 

 

 

Keep your fingers crossed for Traci Mae.

 Have a great weekend.

I think Tracie Mae has a very sweet face. At tractor supply they sell wash for tears on fur to make it look clean and nice. Maybe that would make her look better. She looks like a very nice kitty. My dog Mandy always had runny eyes - lots of Cockers do. I feel that if someone adopted her for love she would be so worthy. She deserves her own family. Prayers for some one with a gentle heart to look beyond the surface and love her deeply for her soul. Ginny & The fur Family

Poor Traci Mae. We agree with Maria's comment ... that person who called Traci Mae "ugly" is obnoxious. We will share about this beautiful ladycat.
