Meet Zoe, the biggest and most gorgeous kitty ever! When Zoe arrived at Orange County Animal Shelter back in May, she weighed a whopping 23 lbs...that's more than double the weight of a healthy adult cat! Zoe was surrendered by her owners of twelve years, because she did not approve of the new baby in the house. At the shelter, she was understandably stressed, and was lashing out. No one could even touch her, and even approaching her cage made Zoe hiss and swat. Then, she came down with an upper respiratory infection (a kitty cold), which only added to her misery. We knew she wouldn't improve in the shelter environment, so Zoe came to foster care to recover emotionally from losing her home, get over her cold, and to lose some weight. It took a few weeks for Zoe to get comfortable enough to allow her foster mom to pet her, but once she did, she loved being petted. What she craves most (beside treats) is being brushed!
