FINALLY, this absolute stunner of a tortie is up for adoption! We named this gal Geez Louise, and for good reason, because HOLY YIKES. When we first met several months back, girlfriend here was really going through it. She came into rescue with a gaping wound from just above her knee, right over the top of her thigh, into her hip flexor. We don’t know what happened there, but it was super gross and required emergency attention. And on top of that, Geezie had a SCREAMING urinary tract infection at the same time. Like, literally screaming. She would spend 15, 20, maybe 30 minutes at a pop, squatted up while trying to be ginger with that gnarly leg wound, attempting to release even so much as a teaspoon worth of p*e, and just cussing her tail off at the top of her lungs. She probably invented some new swear words throughout that era of her life, and justifiably so. We would stand next to the box and mutter “geez. Holy… Oh geez, girlfriend…geez Louise…” enough times that the name stuck. Three months later, you would never know she had been through such an ordeal. Louie’s luscious tortoise coat has grown back in. The screaming p*es are behind her, and there’s not a single lingering after effect. No special food- no visible lingering scar- not a single curse word is muttered when she hits the whiz. Just a one year old, well rounded kitty looking for the home she’ll relish for the rest of her life.
When we’re not calling her Geezie or Louie or any variation of either, we simply call her Girlfriend, because that too, is exactly what she is. She’s one of the best girlfriends you could ever have. She’s a companion through and through, who loves hanging out in your lap on a chilly winter evening, laying behind your head on the couch, or just chatting you up about the days events when you come home. If you want to play? She’s 100% down. Had a bad day and just want to lay? She’s got you there, too. She doesn’t mind sharing her space with dogs or other cats, but she does need a nice, slow intro so she’s sure they aren’t there to hurt her. She never misses the litter box, eats like a bird, so she won’t break the bank at the pet store, and she isn’t on any special diet. There’s nothing bad to say about her- except for maybe her behavior when she’s on the nip. That is…rather...concering at times. One rip of good ol’ cat nip and she morphs into a parkour professional- and sometimes, you’re her springboard, sometimes stuff goes flying, sometimes your foot is mistaken for an assassin, etc etc.
If you’re looking for a well rounded, entertaining, easy going cat who just wants to be your bestie Geez Louise is your girl. She’s just one year old, spayed, microchipped, current on all vaccines and toting a clean bill of health! Apply to take her forever home at thephoenixremixrescue.com!
