Pumpkin A265165

Hi, I’m Pumpkin!

My foster family says: "Pumpkin is a lovely girl and was a great mama. She loves to play! She has lots of energy with wands and teasers and your toes under a blanket but is also very happy to lounge beside you or on your chest for quiet time. She also will love her nighttime snuggles with you and a treat tube."

The staff at the OHS call me a Co-pilot! Co-pilots thrive on being an involved family member, and will likely want to spend a good chunk of their time with you playing, chatting, training, and snoozing. They can handle alone time if you give them enough to do, and their favourite independent activities usually include exploring tunnels, perching by the window, playing with novel toys, and cozying up for a nap. But be ready, because these social kitties will be waiting for you! If you're having guests over, you might find your Co-pilot at your side acting as your official greeter. And if you're working around the house a Co-pilot might just want to help - keep an eye on your keyboard! Co-pilots may also be good candidates for harness training and leash walks outdoors. After living with a Co-pilot, you'll wonder how you ever managed without one.

Special Considerations:

• I am looking for a quiet home with no other animals or young kids! 
• I like to be handled on my own terms.
• I have excessive inflammation of my gums, possibly due to feline chronic gingivostomatitis (FCGS). I will require regular veterinary check-ups to monitor this condition. It is possible I will require ongoing veterinary dental care under anesthesia to manage my condition.
• I had some soft stool or diarrhea while at the shelter. I have been dewormed, some diagnostic tests have been run, and I may be on a special diet as a result. My soft stool may be related to stress and resolve in a home. If it returns, I may need more diagnostic tests and an ongoing special diet and/or other medications.
• I have been diagnosed with a heart murmur. A heart murmur is an abnormal sound a veterinarian can hear when listening to an animal’s heart. Many animals with heart murmurs go on to live happy and healthy normal lives. However, the status of the murmur will need to be monitored over time, and additional tests and medications may become necessary. You should discuss this condition with your veterinarian, and together you will decide how to manage the cat’s condition. The cause of a heart murmur cannot be determined by listening to the heart alone. Further tests will likely be needed to diagnose the underlying problem. This could include chest x-rays, a consult with a veterinary cardiologist, blood work, blood pressure testing and a cardiac ultrasound.
