Description:
Meet Orla! The stunning, long-haired beauty with a gorgeous personality to match. Orla has overcome so much in the last year, and is so deserving of a forever home with her sister, Aisling! Orla and Ainsling are a bonded pair of sisters who ended up at Chicago Animal Care and Control after their owner was evicted.The CACC shelter is a loud and stressful environment, especially for more delicate, senior kitties like Orla and Ainsling. Thankfully, they were pulled out of the shelter by FFF and placed in foster care. Even once they made it to a foster home, both Orla and Aisling were still very fearful and unsure. With some time and patience, these darling girls started to warm up and show their true, affectionate personalities. Unfortunately, not long after they entered foster care, Orla became very sick and stopped eating. She lost nearly half of her bodyweight, and had to undergo many treatments, including a feeding tube that was necessary for her to receive essential nutrition and gain her weight back. Shortly after Orla recovered and started eating on her own again, she tested positive for ringworm! It’s been a long, tough, journey, but thankfully Orla has now fully recovered, as you can see by her lush coat and robust appetite.Orla is bonded with her sister Aisling, so they are looking for a home together. These adorable and friendly sisters get along with other cats, and would probably do well with patient and gentle children. These two have not yet met any dogs, but they would likely be able to adjust to a canine friend as long as they are given a patient and gradual introduction.Despite being an adorable little old lady, Orla will still get the zoomies and loves to play! She particularly likes catnip mice! Some of Orla's favorite things include fluffy beds, watching the neighborhood from the window sill, and accompanying her humans to the bathroom. Don’t even think about trying to go alone, Orla’s not having it! She also enjoys being brushed, which is an important part of keeping her long coat healthy, shiny, and free of matts! Orla loves to sit near her people and will use her sweet, chirpy meow to request pets and attention. She can be hesitant when meeting new people, but once you earn her trust, you'll have a lifelong friend!
