Meet the sweetest Greta 🤍 She needs out of the shelter ASAP ❗️
This little lady has had a hard life and would love a place to call her own.
She was found by a Good Samaritan on Rt 17 in Mahwah. As soon as she called to Greta, she came running ready to make a new friend. She immediately scooped Greta up and brought her to us.
Since she's been with us, Greta has been so affectionate and clearly loves people. A simple greeting brings her to the front of her cage for chin scratches, which as far as she's concerned, they should never stop. She also seems to do well with other cats and is completely undisturbed by them even if they don't reciprocate the feeling.
When Greta came to us she was emaciated, extremely dehydrated, and had clearly spent a lot of time fending for herself on the streets. Since she isn't a spring chicken, we can only imagine her struggle.
We immediately got Greta the medical care she so desperately needed, but unfortunately we can't fix all of her problems. At some point during her life, Greta's lung collapsed (which she doesn't seem to be effected by) and she has an issue with her heart. She is currently on meds to help with her heart.
What concerns us the most about Greta is that she does not seem to be thriving in the shelter. For good or bad, Greta spent most of her life roaming and is now confined to a cage. Her once healthy appetite has waned, though her love of attention has not.
We would love to find her a foster, if not a forever home where she can be loved and pampered for the rest of her days.
