Plenty of Pets
Victory, or Viki, is a seven-month-old girl who had a very difficult start in life.
She was born to a barn cat and when she was taken to Carma she had an eye infection, upper respiratory virus, mild rectal prolapse, and parasites.
Although she was treated with three rounds of medication, she still has a low level of coccidia. Her vet she is safe in a home with no other cats, or with healthy cats between the ages of one and 10. Kittens, senior cats, and cats with weakened immune systems could contract coccidia. Victory enjoys playing with her foster siblings and would be happy to be in a home with another friendly cat. She also enjoys the company of older children.
She’s been vaccinated, microchipped and spayed and is now ready for her forever home. Her adoption fee is $175.
For more information, visit Carma Cat Rescue – Colchester Chapter on Facebook, email [email protected] or call 902-957-8677.
