My Story

Hi, I'm Melody! My original Mom had me since I was about a month old. When I was a kitten, I was found in a church parking lot during a church service, which is how I got my name! I lived with my mom until she had to go into a nursing home, and I wasn't allowed to tag along. My entire life got turned upside down while people were moving things out of my mom's house. I was so scared, but then one of my family members called Castaway Critters, and my really nice volunteer picked me up and took me to my new "home."  I have never lived with cats or dogs before, but I co-exist pretty well with other cats in my foster home, as long as they don't expect me to play with them.  In my forever home, I will need someone who is very patient with me and able to properly introduce me to any potential new feline friend(s). I love to get head pats and sit with my foster mom while we watch TV. I don't like to be held, and I am declawed in the front. I am also on a weight management diet, so I am able to clean myself comfortably. I do have a minor skin condition that may at times require some medication, but nothing over the top crazy! When I lose weight, my skin will be much easier to clean myself; it's tough to reach certain spaces right now!  I am FIV/FELV negative, microchipped, spayed and completely up to date on shots. If you think you're my furever home, please apply for me at www.castawaycritters.org/adopt.
