Lovely Gemma, also affectionately known as our “Sweet Potato,” is a 13-year-old lady who is proving that life truly does get better with age! Since settling into her foster home, this “Junoesque” beauty has been hard at work on her health and wellness journey. We are thrilled to share that her weight loss is off to a great start, and she is becoming more active and mobile every single day.
Gemma is a world-class purrer and an absolute sweetheart who lives for human companionship. She has become quite the little shadow, happily following her foster on “daily walks” around the apartment and chatting away the entire time (mostly because she knows a tasty treat reward is waiting at the finish line!). When she isn’t busy being a social butterfly, you can find her rolling around with her favorite catnip kicker or showing off her award-winning “air biscuits.” She is also the ideal companion for marathon TV sessions, or phone-scrolling, happily lying next to you getting slow pets.
To keep her senior mind and body sharp, Gemma has been enjoying new challenges like snuffle mats and food puzzles, and now has her very own set of pet stairs in the living room so she can easily navigate her way onto the comfy couch to claim her rightful spot beside you for a nap.
Gemma is a remarkably tidy lady with nearly perfect litter habits and a heart full of love. She would be an absolute joy for any family looking for a gentle, affectionate companion. Gemma is looking for a peaceful “retirement” home where she can turn the page to her next chapter. She is a gentle, affectionate companion who simply wants a soft place to land and a family dedicated to her long-term well-being.
A Note on Health & Wellness: Our top priority for Gemma right now is supporting her on her weight loss journey to ensure she stays mobile and comfortable in her golden years. It is essential that her future adopters are fully committed to continuing her specialized diet and exercise plan. Helping Gemma shed a few pounds will be the greatest gift you can give her, allowing her to enjoy a healthier, more active life.
