Hi There,?
I am writing regarding my seven year old f5 savannah female cat named Silvy. My boyfriend and I got her almost 3 years ago when she had just turned five, from a large family with a lot of animals. She was intended to be for a little girl but it wasn't working out.?
Over the past three years, we have spent a lot of time working with Silvy to bring her out of her shell. It is clear that she has experienced a traumatic event in her life, and we think she may have PTSD, or anxiety. Last year, we got another cat so she wouldn't be alone all day. Though it took a while, they have become buddies and she doesn't have any problems with him. However, since then, she has become territorial and every few weeks will pee only on my things, not my boyfriends. We think maybe she is jealous, and needs to be the only woman in the house...?
She is such a doll, and once she bonds, she can be so loving and sweet. She has beautiful coloring and heterochromatic eyes - one blue one green.However, she is afraid of her own shadow, and the behavioral peeing has become a big issue in the house. We currently have to move out of our building, and will be living in a house with many more people and too much going on. She does not do well with travel at all, and this move is not long term, so we are concerned about taking her with us only to move again. We will be living with someone who is extremely allergic to cats as well, and it is currently our only option.?
She needs a forever home, maybe with one other cat, and maybe an older couple that will just love her and let her learn to trust them. She has lived with an australian shepherd and didn't have any problems either.?
We would love a home that can keep us updated on how she is doing. Her adoption fee is $200 to ensure she goes to a good home, this money will in turn be donated to the savannah cat rescue. No shipping, the stress of it would be far too traumatizing for her. It takes her several weeks to recover from a short drive move as it is. We are in San Diego and would be willing to meet up within reason. We are moving at the end of July and would prefer not to move her too many times so she doesn't get too stressed out, however we are not in a rush and will keep her as long as we need to to make sure she ends up in the right hands.?
Thank you for your consideration. Please feel free to contact me for more pictures or with any questions.
