Meet “Giselle”

My name is Giselle. I am one of the last “hoarder house” cats. It took me a little while to come out of my shell in my new home because I was one of the younger kitties and my older housemates were mean to me. I don’t want to tattle on Sterling but he chased me under the couch all the time, so I spent my first two months hiding all the time. Since Sterling was adopted, I’ve learned how much I LOVE playing with FurrLecia (my foster mama kitty). I LOVE getting pets. I LOVE watching TV.
My original owner passed away in May 2022, leaving me and my 15-30 kitty housemates without any options. Although my owner meant the best for me pets, he was in over his head even before his health deteriorated. I heard that Joanne’s Furry Friends saved me because their veterinarian’s office asked for their help.
Per vet and dental records, Giselle is approx 2 years old, she is FIV/FeLV negative. She has been treated for fleas, parasites & it is confirmed that she has been spayed. She is good with other cats/kittens, even the ones that beat up on her. She is slow to warm up and is suspicious in the beginning, but once she gives her heart to you she will follow you around the house all day long talking to you. It took her two months (and Sterling had to go to a new home) before she became the beautiful, graceful, loving girl she is now! She would probably be ok with respectful dogs and quiet children, but it is going to take her a peaceful, safe place to feel comfortable more quickly.
**Her adoption fee has been waived to good indoor-only homes. To a great home we will be willing to transport to the adopter at no charge, anywhere in the U.S.** Donations via our website are very appreciated because we are overwhelmed with this situation coupled with kitten season. We need to find homes for these wonderful, friendly kitties ASAP because we are over limit on taking in and helping people until we’ve re-homed these wonderful, beloved kitties in good safe homes.
Located in San Diego, California – but we will deliver our adult kitties all over the US at no cost to the adopter. Giselle‘s house mates were delivered to home in San Jose, Menifee, Ontario and South San Diego respectively. We can arrange times for you to meet Giselle if you are local or to arrange to take him for a week on a trial adoption. Please call or text 858-883-4222. Fill out an adoption application on our website: http://joannesfurryfriends.com/meet-giselle/
You can learn more about animal hoarding on the ASPCA website, but as stated, “It is a complex issue that often encompasses mental health, animal welfare and public safety concerns.” The owner had over 30 kitty urns from his past cats displayed carefully – he truly, truly loved all animals.
