Shirley is a petite tiger girl who was born with a heart murmur. At first, our vet felt it was so severe she might not live to see her first birthday. But Shirley is a fighter. Upon reaching her first birthday, we spoke with our vet to see what our options were. He told us the first step was an echo cardiogram and referred us to a specialist. After this expensive test, we were happy to hear that her heart murmur was not as severe as first thought and the echo cardiogram showed that while it was audible, the cause was minor and she is in no danger. She is expected to live a good life. The specialist also said she is able to withstand her spay which has now been done. As a result, we are now allowing Shirley to be adopted. She will give her adopted family years of love and joy. We are offering a one year health warranty (normally we give only two weeks).
