Nephertiti                        Born 9/28/02



Nephertiti was living the feral life when she was trapped as a young kitten in Waco. Usually, a young feral kitten can be socialized and successfully placed in an adoptive home and go on to a long happy life as a house cat. But Nephertiti had several health issues – a heart murmer and some sinus problems – that made her a poor candidate for adoption.

Fortunately for her, those same problems made her a perfect candidate for Shadow Cats! She came to live in the Outback section of the sanctuary, with all the good features of her old life but none of the disadvantages. She has lots of playmates, and plenty of places to hide out by herself when she wants to. If she’s feeling social, almost every day there are volunteers who are ready to sweet talk her and offer their lap. Most importantly, she gets all the attention and medical care she needs.

 

 


After a minor respiratory infection last year, and with a cold winter approaching, she moved indoors to Nana’s Corner where she can get extra attention and care – and she’s been doing really well there. Nephertiti may not ever be a house cat, but thanks to Shadow Cats, she'll still get to enjoy a long, happy life.
