ESTIMATED DOB: March 2020 Astrid, August 2020 Jarvis
COLOR/BREED: Tabbico Domestic Shorthair- Astrid, White Munchkin-Jarvis
KIDS: No
DOGS: Unknown
CATS: No
HISTORY:
Astrid was found as a stray in Louisiana with an abdominal injury when she was just a kitten. Since she was rescued, she continued to have chronic diarrhea and was transferred to our care. Before coming to the rescue, she had made friends with another cat (a Munchkin named Jarvis), and the pair were brought into our program so they can be adopted together.
ABOUT:
Astrid LOVES attention - she really can’t get enough! She is an active, social, in-your-face kinda girl who just wants to play, explore and be by your side at all times. Even though she adores being in the center of all the action, it’s okay if you’re gone during the day because she has her pal, Jarvis, to keep her company. This adventurous gal is always looking for new things to investigate, so be sure to go overboard on supplying her with new toys, scratchers and cat towers so she never gets bored. Fun-loving, sweet and curious; she’s truly everything you could want in a feline companion.
As mentioned in her history, Astrid has chronic diarrhea. After much testing and trials, Astrid had a biopsy performed, and the results came back as inflammatory enteritis (inflammation of the intestines). After a course of B-12 injections, prednisolone and a hydrolyzed diet, we found that she is well-managed on just her dry special prescription diet (which Jarvis eats as well). She will never have perfect bowel movements, but they are always in the litterbox and very manageable. She acts completely normal and has no other known health issues.
Jarvis is a silly, playful guy who is sure to entertain you for hours on end - although it may be from a distance. You see, Jarvis is a bit shy at first, and takes a while to settle into his new environment and to trust the people that live there. Luckily, he has gained some much needed confidence from his bonded buddy, Astrid, and is much more brave interacting with people when he sees her being social with humans. This active, energetic boy can often be found playing with toys or wrestling with Astrid.
Once he gets to know you, Jarvis will tolerate being petted gently, but on his terms when he’s in the mood. Once he tires of the attention, he’ll simply move away from you or nibble/paw at your hands to tell you to go away. He does not like to be picked up or restrained in any way, and due to his sensitive nature, we do not recommend him for a home with children or other pets.
