ADOPTED    ADOPTED

Maddie was adopted January 11th to a wonderful new home (w/Petey).

  Hi, I'm Maddie.  

I am a female, 7 month old brown tabby with white, with semi-long hair.

All my brothers Mocha, Marshall, Murphy and Marlowe were adopted several months back.  They went to wonderful homes and now it is finally Madeline's turn.

I am a special needs kitty at the moment but there is hope I will grow out of this snortin' as I get older.

I developed an upper respiratory infection (URI) when I was about 7 weeks old.  All my brothers were healthy and found homes quickly.  My symptoms consist mostly of snorts, which occur when I rough-house too much with my friends, or when I clean myself.  And, I sometimes I breathe out of my mouth, for example, when sleeping.  I have never had any sneezing bouts or nasal discharge of any kind, so I'm lucky in that respect.

I was on antibiotics and am currently taking Interferon, to boost my immunity system.  My URI symptoms have improved over the last 3 months, and the vet said there is a 50/50 chance I could kick this completely in time.  If not, I will be on Interferon long-term, one week on and one week off.  It's a liquid medicine given once a day, which I don't mind.  The cost is $3 per month.  

I was isolated in the early days of my URI but now have been a member of the family here for many months and none of the vaccinated kitties here have caught anything from me.

Even if I am on meds long-term, I will give you back so much in return! 

I am a very loving girl.  

I'm a might on the shy side with strangers but great with my foster parents and all my pals here in Foster Paradise.

When the nephews come over (5 and 7 years old), I hide at first but once they coax me out of my hiding place, we play for hours.

Here are a couple pics Mom snapped of me out on the porch as the leaves were turning.  

I am quite proud of them.

I have beautiful brown tabby markings.  I sport a white Maine Coon-like mane, which some say is rather spiffy.   Most people just love my tail too.  I'll model it here.

I am somewhere between a short hair and a semi-long hair, with my tail being the bushiest.  

 I am a sweet girl looking for a new family.  

I'm quite popular here in Foster Paradise but need to clear out some room for the next kitty who is a little down on his luck.

I like to play with my friends and would love to be adopted with one of them, or have another young cat to play with.  I am very good with other cats and have made friends with all that I've met here.  

This is Petey and Timothy, who are also available for adoption.  They're the best buds a girl could ask for.

Here, Tim and I are taking an afternoon snooze in the cat napper.

And here is what Petey and I do most of the time.  

 He's a little rough and tumble for a girl like me but I love him anyway.

Below as I begin to doze, I curl up right in the middle of the desk..

That's Cuddle Bear, the black cat, checking on me.  He's amazed how far I've come and says he doesn't think I snore at all any longer.

Here's another of my finer moments.

And lest you think I'm looking like a just a napper.

This is 6 stories worth of records, its just a hop and a jump from the napper to the scanner to the penthouse.

You don't quite get the whole picture here so I asked him to pull back a little.

So, I'll bid you adieu and hope to hear from you soon. 

If you have room in your heart and home for someone special like Maddie......
