Milwaukee Record is working in partnership with Urban Cat Coalition—a local organization that’s dedicated to creating a no kill community by humanely reducing the cat population in the Milwaukee area through targeted trap-neuter-return (TNR)—to help find loving homes for area cats. Each week, we plan to highlight a feline friend that’s currently up for adoption by naming it “Milwaukee Record’s Cat Of The Week.” This week: a gregarious gal called Aspen.
Meet Aspen! This gregarious gal is affectionate and she loves cuddles and kisses. Her favorite game is called “speed bump”—she’ll run ahead of you, flop onto her side, and look up for belly rubs. She loves attention and being held, but she isn’t needy.
When Aspen was about three weeks old, foster mom noticed something odd with her chest and soon discovered that Aspen had FCKS (Flat Chest Kitten Syndrome), a condition that causes the lungs to collapse and the rib cage to flatten, making it difficult for the lungs to fully inflate. With quick intervention, including wearing a corset for over a month, Aspen’s ribs are now properly shaped, her lungs are strong, and her heart is doing exactly what it should. She’s a happy, healthy girl.
If you’re ready for a fun-loving, gorgeous snuggler to join your family, Aspen might just be the perfect fit!
