Carroll Gardens Rescue Kitty "Hannah" Needs a Home

Welcome to Friday Feline, a recurring column in which we spotlight a local rescue in need of a home. If you're looking for a low-maintenance animal that has already recieved most of its immunizations and tests, this is the place for you.

This week's subject is: Hannah

"Hannah is such a lovely and sweet little girl," said C. Corey,  who rescues felines and coordinates adoptions in Carroll Gardens. "She follows her foster all around and loves to be with her." 

The foster parent, who wished to remain anonymous, had this to say about her charge:

"Hannah waits at the door to greet me every time I come home," said the foster parent. "She can't wait to be played with, she is such a great companion and loves to be around people. She will never hide or shy away from you or your friends, she is very social and loves to be the center of attention."

In fact, she might be a little bit vain.

"She is quite diligent about her grooming and is always ready for her closeup!" said the foster parent. But this doesn't mean she's disinterested, she noted. "She sleeps at the foot of the bed and is so tender when she uses her little paw to wake me up. After breakfast she sits in the sunny windowsill and stretches out—it is so cute!"

While Hannah enjoys gazing outside, she has no interest in exploring. Her observers find her perfectly "happy being in a warm loving home."

Perhaps because the 1-and-a-half-year-old charge was found roaming the streets.

"She was very friendly from the first time we met her and just did not want to be outside anymore," said Corey. "Her gratitude for bringing her in is evident in her sweet nature, love she gives and the way she looks at you. She is not a demanding kitty; she is independent but loving and so wonderful to have in the house. She is fine with other kitties or alone and even likes dogs! 

Potential parents will be please to note that Hannah is spayed, microchipped and up to date on all of her shots.

"She tested neg for FELV, but positive for FIV," said Corey. "This is no big deal, it just means she is immune defficient. She can easily live 20 years as long as she is kept indoors, given high quality food and lots of love."

FIV is not transmittable to humans, dogs, etc. For more information, click here.

Looking for a male cat instead? . Corey suggests that the best home for Marlon may be a female-dominated one, as he is intimidated by male humans.
