Milwaukee Record is working in partnership with Urban Cat Coalition to help find loving homes for area cats. Each week, we—with generous sponsorship from Skilos, A Family Pet Store—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 cute little princess called Cirie.
Meet Cirie (a name Survivor fans may recognize). She was named after a woman who is strong and very smart, but is often underestimated. Cirie came into foster care as a one-day-old kitten out of MADACC. She immediately proved herself to be a strong-willed fighter with a lot of opinions, which she is always willing to vocalize.
Now you may ask about her strange coat color and texture. When she was just a couple of weeks old, she stopped wanting to nurse on her bottle and started losing her fur. Her foster mom immediately took action and, although the fur loss continued, a change in formula got her eating again. Turns out the formula she had been eating had been recalled, as it had been causing issues with developing kittens. The quick dietary change enabled Cirie to grow big and strong and fuzzy once again. Her current coat is called a “fever coat,” which happens when a kitten suffers a health issue or a dietary one in Cirie’s case. Her coat will eventually return to the dark black and bold red it was initially once she loses her kitten coat.
Cirie is a bold, loving, opinionated young lady who is deserving of a loving family that will provide for her every whim. She loves toys, cuddles, and running around with her kitten friends. Her wonderful tortie markings will be the envy of all kittens she meets, and she wears them like a crown only the princess of kittens deserves. She would do best in a household with other pets.
