Hi friends!, I'm Romi! I was rescued from a South Texas Shelter when I was just a young kitten.  That was over four years ago and I am still searching for that forever home everyone else seems to find.  I am very sweet and absolutely love attention. I really really must sleep next to you every night (you know, to keep you safe).  I do have some challenges though and maybe that is why I’m still in foster care.  Behaviorally I am 100% awesome!  Medically not so much.  Issue no. 1 is not so much of a big deal and is commonly known as Viral Conjunctivitis. That a fancy way of saying I have a watery eye. This can be contagious to other kitties but none of the foster kitties in my home ever developed it.  Issue no. 2, is that I was recently diagnosed with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy so my ticker has to be checked out every six months.  Thankfully it is in the early stages and I am not on medications as of yet.  But it can and will most likely progress.  How quickly?  No one knows.   But for now I am doing okay.  And finally the last item on the list is Hip Dysplasia.  With that I am not able to run fast or climb quickly.  But when I have the zoomies I impress my foster mom with my abilities to get in and out of the cat tree!  This too will progress.  But even with all of the above, I have remained a loving and fun kitty and try everyday to live my best life.   And as much as I love my foster home, I really do want a home of my own.  Because of my issues it would be best for me to have a quiet home with a gentle kitty friend.  And if there is that special person who is willing to open their home and love me, they should know that my medical treatment has a lifetime sponsor.  So anything medically I need would be taken care of.  Thank you for reading my story and even if you do not choose me, please consider another rescue cat.  We all deserve a forever home!
