Indigo

Indigo was rescued at the beginning of April, after having been seen roaming a park for several weeks. Even after scanning social media and advertising on lost-pet sites, no one claimed her, and we must conclude that she was abandoned, perhaps by a family who then moved away. Accustomed to human touch, she nonetheless has had people caring for her at one time.

Personality:

At first, Indigo was rather stand-offish with her new foster-guardian. She is a cautious cat, and needs time to assess a situation. But once she learned that she is in a safe and caring environment, her real personality became apparent. She has in fact grown close to her human. She will often come up to him while he’s sitting and want up on his lap, and come bed-time, she will soon be found lying next to her person. Gentle stroking of her head will produce audible purrs. When she first came to live with her foster-guardian, even an accidental touch of her tail was thoroughly discouraged. Now, it’s a matter of her saying, “Oh, it’s you. You’re all right.” She’s come a long way.

Indigo would prefer to be an only-cat, but she will tolerate others, and there is no reason why a new cat might not persuade her that she needs a feline friend. Living with several cats, though, Indie prefers to keep her own company; she’s not adventurous and, though we’re certain the right toy will start her playing, she hasn’t found any yet to her liking. Her personality is strong; she likes what she likes. But when she is shown affection and made to feel safe, you will be surprised at how much love she gives.

Indigo is diabetic. Currently, she is receiving two units of insulin twice a day. This is easily administered, and she makes no fuss about it. With diabetics, blood sugars need to be tested about once a month, and, though it may take her some getting used to, we think she’ll adapt to it as easily as she does her daily injections.
