Description
Name:  Mary Jane Hobbies:  Napping in front of windows (especially open ones!)                Playing with feather toys, and soaking up affection. Personality:  I'm a very shy kitty and don't like to be around strangers much It's taken me a long time to get over my urinary tract infections -- and that's put a lot of stress on me. Once I get to know a person, I love being petted and enjoy curling up on a warm lap. I would like a forever home where I'm a single kitty or have another kitty friend who needs a FLUTD diet too. Because of my FLUTD condition, I need to eat special food (like Science Diet c/d), to control the formation of crystals that give me bladder infections.    Special Needs:  Besides love and attention I do need to eat the special food but please don't let that keep you away from me though.  It really doesn't cost all that much more than what my other friends eat at the Catty Shack... ^..^   This kitty is eligible for our Furever Foster Program.
Breed Characteristics
Tortoiseshell is often mistaken as a certain breed of cat, it actually refers to a cats coloration. When you see a cat with two colors blended and no certain or distinct patterning, you are looking at a tortoiseshell. Tortoiseshell coats are often made up of patches of red and black, if dilute then cream and blue. A cat with two colors and a distinctive pattern all over is known as a “ torbie” (short for tortoiseshell tabby). The torbie pattern is also called a patch tabby. Torbies are essentially a combination of the tortoiseshell pattern and the tabby pattern.
