Boo Bear and Blanca are ready to bring double the love, purrs, and joy into the right home. If you're looking for a sweet, playful, and affectionate pair to complete your family, look no further—Boo Bear and Blanca are waiting to meet you!

Blanca is one of the sweetest cats ever! She is affectionate, friendly, quiet, smart, playful, gentle and curious. Blanca is playful but never pushy and enjoys quiet moments just as much as chasing toys or lounging in a sunny spot. She was born with a severe heart murmur but that doesn’t slow her down. She takes medication daily with some Churu and it is never an issue. Blanca gets along well with and loves to play with the dogs in their foster home and gets along well the older cats in the house too.

Blanca takes compounded liquid Sildenafil 3 times a day. The cost of the medication is about $1/day.

p.s. We were giving her the medicine with Churu but I have started just giving it do her with the syringe and it works great.

Blanca is bonded with her brother, Boo Bear. They must be adopted together.

Adoption fee for two kitties: $225

Blanca is spayed, microchipped, is up to date with age appropriate vaccinations, and has tested negative for FIV/Feline Leukemia.

Special Needs: Blanca takes compounded liquid Sildenafil 3 times a day to control her hypertension. The cost of the medication is about $1/day. She was diagnosed with a ventricular septal defect. A ventricular septal defect (VSD) is a congenital heart defect meaning it is present from birth. A VSD is a hole in the interventricular septum, which is the wall that normally separates the two lower chambers of the heart (the left ventricle and right ventricle). When this hole is present, it allows for blood to shunt from the left ventricle to the right ventricle when the heart contracts. If this defect is large, it can eventually cause enlargement of the left heart chambers and subsequent left-sided congestive heart failure. In some cases, like Blanca, the increased blood flow going back to the lungs (called pulmonary overcirculation) results in the development of pulmonary hypertension. Pulmonary hypertension is high blood pressure within the vessels in the lungs. This makes it harder for blood to leave the right heart and go to the lungs. If the pulmonary hypertension were to become severe enough, the shunting of blood across the VSD can reverse directions (blood then flows from the right ventricle to the left ventricle) and results in less oxygen being delivered to the body.
