Lexi 

*Lexi*
~Declawed~
SPCA#: 05-13-226
Breed: DLH
Age: 5yr
Gender: Female
Arrived at shelter: May 26, 13 

Lexi is a very beautiful cat with show quality looks! She has huge bright blue eyes and very pretty coat markings.

Past experiences and personality
Sadly Lexi has been through experiences that have left her extremely scared. Because of her reluctance to interact with the world she is going to need a very special home where there will be no expectations or demands put upon her. Time and patience in a safe consistent environment is what this little girl needs.
Lexi tends to growl under her breath and back away when she is directly approached by people, and she has been known to bite. She currently dislikes being picked up, but this may change in the future. She has been declawed prior to coming to the rescue and so is unable to scratch people.

Lexi's future and positives
With a great deal of patience and a very caring and special family who are willing to give Lexi a chance of a happy home for life, she could begin to trust again and become part of a family.
She has been fostered by a volunteer for only a few days and in this time has shown that she does desperately want to please people and to give and accept affection. She has started to approach those she trusts and offer herself to be stroked and petted. She gets scared of sudden movements, especially of the hands, and it is best to leave her if she backs away growling and give her some space to compose herself again.
She has started to enjoy gentle play with cat toys. She likes a ball rolled towards her, and she will bat it with her paw. She also likes feather wand toys, and particularly ones associated with noise, such as with bells attached. Because Lexi has no claws, she cannot hold the feather toy firmly as if she has caught her prey, so for her self esteem it is important to be gentle and let her think she has caught the toy between her paws and that it can't get away!

Requirements of a happy home for Lexi
Lexi will need to have an indoor home. If she were to escape outside she would have no way of defending herself due to her lack of claws.
An ideal home would be quiet and calm, so that Lexi could have every opportunity to re-learn how to interact with people and begin to trust again.
This adorable little girl deserves a chance of happiness in life again and is waiting for a very special family to come and give her that opportunity of a life time in a forever home.
Please come and visit Lexi at the rescue.
