This week, we are featuring two of our stunning adult cats featuring pointed coat patterns.
First we have lovely little Milu, who we believe is a Birman-mix. This gorgeous girl was found outside of a Goodwill one day with two kittens in tow. Oddly enough, the store had also received a very generous donation of cat related items that day…perhaps a coincidence, but we think not. They were discovered by the employees and spent several days befriending the kittens and mom before one employee contacted a casual volunteer at Carol’s Ferals for help. With a little time and patience, Milu was trapped and brought into the facility for a physical. Her kittens found homes shortly after that with the very employees that found them because they were young, cute, and friendly. Milu herself was pretty friendly, but shy after her stint outdoors. She also had a lot of plant burrs stuck in her fur so we had to do some clipping to get her coat clean and shiny again. After some time at the facility, Milu has gained a little weight, has grown out her fur, and looks every bit like the regal princess she is.
Milu is less shy than she used to be and loves to have affection rained down on her, but she is very much her ‘own’ cat. She is perfectly content to have a nice comfy bed to rest on and to watch everyone in the room when she’s not seeking some physical affection. Even though she is long-haired, she is relatively low maintenance and requires only periodic brushing to keep her coat looking it’s best. We think Milu would be perfect in a household with or without other cats. She tolerates older children without much of a problem but very young children might want more attention from her than she is willing to give. We estimate she was born in 2006, so she is still definitely an adult cat, but still playful at heart.

We also have Cody, a handsome Siamese-mix. He came to us as a medical mess: his tail was practically rotting from a large wound over the majority of the last few inches of tail and his throat was swollen and bloody with a terrible abscess. We weren’t sure at first if he was going to make it, but he started to turn a corner a week or so after surgery. The infection of his tail was so bad, they had to amputate most of it and the abscess cleared, or so we though. The abscess returned one more time before we finally had it cleared up, but by then, he was already so much better than he had been when he first arrived. It’s been several months since the last occurrence, so we are sure that he is back on the track to great health and is looking for the next step in recovery: a new home.
Cody is a very people-friendly cat and adores attention. He will sit in your lap and soak up all the pets and scratches you have to offer and doesn’t mind being picked up too much. Cody often comes out to greet volunteers when they arrive and doesn’t mind being out and about with strangers either. He is a very calm cat overall and very well mannered. Cody has been through a lot in his short life, but don’t let that scare you as his needs are very minimal: his tail just needs to be treated with care. He was estimated to have been born in 2007 and is a well-trained cat, perfect for almost any household. He tolerates other cats wonderfully and kids of all ages don’t seem to bother him. We would love to see him find a family that can give him all that he needs.
