We are considering adopting a sweet tabby kitty who is approximately one years old.
She was taken from a kill shelter and fostered by a neglectful foster mom who did not feed her appropriately and did not take care of her medical needs. She was transferred to a different foster mom and given appropriate medical attention and good food. She gained weight and is around 6 pounds. She is very petite, and is full grown but, her size is almost that of a younger cat, almost a kitten. We were told that this is her full size and she will not get bigger. Most likely this is due to her malnutrition. Has anybody had a similar experience where their cat grew? Does anybody know if this affects any other aspects of her health? Could there be problems in the future?
