Pumpkin is a spayed female who's mum was a Siamese and who's dad was a "moggy". She is very talkative, friendly and sweet-natured. She's 6 years old. She came in because she "didn't like the baby". She's part-vaccinated, and will be fully vaccinated next week.
She's fine with dogs and other cats.
My problem with her is that she is very stressed to the extent that it is affecting her health. For a couple of weeks she hardly ate and just cried all the time. Then she started losing her hair. She's almost bald on one side, and has very thin hair on the other side. The vet has done various tests and can't find a medical cause, so we are putting her hair-loss down to the stress of being dumped.
She's very pretty, but until her hair grows back, I can't rehome her. I am using a Feliway plug-in, she is in a room with quiet cats, and not caged. She is now eating better. Does anyone have any suggestions about what to do with her? This photo from when she first arrived here.
