About Lexi (Domestic short hair) in Westminster

Lexi is waiting for you at Humane Society of Carroll County, Inc. in Westminster, MD 21158. Lexi is currently in a foster home! Her foster provided this info about her:Lexi, a 5 year old female, was found in an alley when she was very young, has been spayed & declawed. According to notes from the previous vet Lexi also has a broken paw, however, it does not affect the way she gets around. Lexi was surrendered along with two other cats after one of their owners passed away. As with most animals, the change of being removed from her original home to the shelter has been stressful. Fortunately, fostering is making a positive difference as Lexi awaits her furever home.Due to the change from her original home Lexi was showing signs of breaking down by not eating properly and losing weight in the shelter. During first two weeks of fostering she constantly hid behind or under a chair slowly adapting to the changes. To be sure she gained weight I would give Lexi her meals where she was hiding. Accommodating her needs worked to start her eating on a regular basis, feeling safe and venturing further into the foster room. Lexi has gained weight and now has a wonderful appetite. When Lexi hears my voice she waits at the door happily meowing with thankfulness as her food is now placed out in the open. Once she eats, her favorite way to spend time is in my lap.By the third week, Lexi was feeling so much better about her surroundings and now no longer hiding except when someone besides myself enters the bedroom. She is always on alert for strange noises and will run to her hiding spot if she feels threatened. So far, Lexi prefers to stay in her bedroom where she now easily wanders about feeling safe, takes naps in various spots and looks out the window. Lexi’s has an interesting face that may look somewhat confused or sad but that is the farthest from the truth. Lexi is so full of appreciation for human love, care, lots of petting and lap time.Lexi has become the lap q
