How does one describe an amazing kitten without using all the usual worn out, over used words? (already used one with the word “amazing”). Well, sometimes that is what works so here goes...Duchess is a striking dreamboat kitty with a dazzling long white coat that she grooms so well herself you will find yourself brushing or combing her just so you can handle and pet her. She is lively and plays well with the other cats. She never participates in cat politics and avoids the occasional issues that cats can have with each other – no drama there! Duchess is so immaculate that she directly supervises the scooping of each litter box and the pouring of kibble into bowls. She is a bit of a micro manager when it comes to these two activities. Her favorite toys are those that involve balls, especially the ones that she can bat around a circle or tower. Duchess is the total package of beauty, fun and personality and will make a great addition to a couple or a family. She is accustomed to being with other cats and loves human interaction so a home where she is not left behind for entire days is best for her. She has not been exposed to dogs or small children although she should be fine with children 5 or older if they are respectful and gentle.

Duchess is a healthy 10+ lbs. even as a kitten. She has the feline herpes virus (FHV) so she should have a Lysine supplement each day which is available from pet supply stores and is not expensive. It is caused by a virus comparable to the virus that causes cold sores in humans but it presents itself similar to how we exhibit allergies.  Don’t be alarmed at an occasional sneezing outbreak.

It is estimated that over 90% of cats have been exposed to the virus and as many as 50% have the active virus. Click here to learn more about feline herpes. There are many other related articles available on the web.

Origin – Duchess was found on a street as a lone stray when she was only a month or two old. She was taken to a rescue who shortly thereafter transferred her to Maine Coon Rescue.

Diet and Litter – Duchess currently eats Purina Proplan Senstive Skin and Stomach as she is free fed with the other cats. She could benefit from some good quality wet food. She has not been fed treats. The litter boxes that Duchess uses are filled with unscented clay litter and are scooped two to three times per day.

Adoption fee: $225.00 which includes combo test (neg/neg), spay, rabies and FVRCP vaccinations. dewormer and flea preventative.

Duchess is available for adoption with no transport fee to within a 250-mile radius of St Albans, WV 25177 if the adopter is willing to meet the foster (transporter) at least halfway; otherwise, there is an $85 transport fee.
