About Luna STA014215
Meet Luna, a delightful senior lady with a heart full of sweetness and love. Luna has the kind of charm that instantly makes her a prized friend to everyone she meets. Friendly and amiable, she enjoys company and is good with children, making her an ideal companion for a family looking to add a touch of feline warmth to their lives.
Luna is a true foodie at heart, and mealtime is one of her cherished moments of the day. She will never turn down a treat, especially if it comes with cuddles. Known for being a "love biter," Luna gently shows her adoration in the most endearing ways. She relishes quiet snuggle sessions, making her a perfect companion for those cozy evenings spent at home.
While Luna adores human companionship, she will not share her domain with other felines, appreciating the undivided attention of her human companions.
Luna's love for scratching requires some attention; placing scratching posts strategically around your home will help protect your furniture and keep her entertained. It's also important to let prospective adopters know that she has been diagnosed with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy. One of our experienced veterinarians will gladly discuss her care routine with you, ensuring you feel confident providing her with the best home environment.
If you're ready to welcome a sweet and affectionate companion into your life, Luna is ready to shower you with affection and be your devoted friend. Embrace the opportunity to give this delightful senior lady the loving home she truly deserves.
Medical notes
Diagnosed Medical Health Condition. - Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
During routine examinations at CPS, a heart murmur was detected.
An ultrasound was done on Luna’s heart. Results show she has a condition called hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). this is the most common form of heart disease in cats. It happens when there is an increase in the thickness of the muscular wall of the heart. This reduces the volume of blood within the heart and prevents the heart muscle from relaxing properly between contractions.
Future Assessments Medication, Treatments required by new owner.
No medication is required at this stage, however it may be required in the future.
Many cats live happy, long lives with a heart murmur.
It is recommended a veterinary exam and cardiac ultrasound is done every 6-12 months to monitor the changes to the heart.
Monitoring sleeping breathing rate at home (how many breaths are taken in a minute) is useful as it may detect early fluid changes in the lungs. A count of < 30 is considered normal.
