Meet Decrepit Deb.
We know... it's an unusual name for an adorable kitten. But trust us, it has nothing to do with who she is today and everything to do with the tiny fighter she once was.
When Deb was about two months old, she had a severe reaction following a vaccine and became critically ill. For over a month, we weren't sure if she was going to make it. Every time we celebrated a small improvement, she'd take an even bigger step backward. She stopped eating, lost an alarming amount of weight, and became so frail that she truly looked... well... decrepit. The name started as a lighthearted way to get through one of the hardest medical cases we'd seen.
Then one day, something changed. This tiny little kitten decided she wasn't giving up. She started eating. She began gaining weight. Day by day, she got stronger, and before long she transformed into the happy, healthy, playful kitten she was always meant to be. Today, her name isn't a reflection of her appearance, it's a reminder of just how far she's come and how incredibly resilient she is. And if there's one thing Deb has taught us, it's that she's a survivor with the biggest heart.
She is one of the sweetest kittens you'll ever meet. At bedtime, she'll happily claim the spot right above your head on your pillow because, obviously, that's where she belongs. She still has a comforting little habit of nursing on blankets, bath mats, your shirt, your arm... honestly, if it's soft and within reach, it's fair game. It's one of those adorable quirks that makes everyone who meets her smile. Deb is also convinced that water tastes better if it's in a bowl on the counter instead of on the floor. She loves chasing spring toys across the house, and she's quite the conversationalist. Meow at her once, and she'll happily carry on an entire conversation with you. She always has something important to say. She adores other cats, gets along wonderfully with dogs, is great with kids, and loves every person she meets. She's easygoing, affectionate, and has the kind of gentle personality that fits into just about any family. If you're looking for a kitten who has already overcome more than most ever will, one who greets every day with love, gratitude, and a little bit of sass, Decrepit Deb is your girl. Her name may make people stop and ask questions, but once you meet her, you'll never forget her story... or the incredible little kitten behind it.
Deb has been spayed, microchipped, she is up to date on vaccines and negative for FeLV and FIV. Her adoption fee is $240.
