Mixed Breed (Calico & Tortoiseshell) Cat Picture #4841

Added on Sept 24th, 2009
Juvia, who's name comes from the Brazilian myrtaceous tree which produces large seeds (known as Brazil nuts) is a very sweet petite elderly girl (5 lbs). We rescued her last Dec 5th after her human mommy suddenly passed away, leaving 9 cats (all are over the age of 10); she rescued cats all of her adult life so her family tried to find homes for all of them. Our vet feels that Juvia is at least 12 years of age but may be much older. She was very passive and seemed to sleep almost all the time until she was here 8 months ~ then it's as if she "came alive" ~ she interacts much more with us & our other cat Amber. She's also a lap cat which makes by hubby very happy when he's in his recliner watching TV in the evening. I had to suggest to him that he might make her bald with all the petting he was doing ~ LOL.
