About Sourdough

Estimated age: 11 weeks
Gender: Female
Size: 3 lbs.
Location: Palo Alto

Meet Sourdough, a playful, affectionate kitten who’s as sweet as her name! This little social butterfly loves everyone she meets and is always ready for a cuddle or a fun play session. Sourdough has a unique eye condition called symblepharon in both eyes, which means the pink tissue around her eyes is slightly adhered to her cornea. This condition is typically a result of an eye infection from Feline Herpes Virus (FHV), common in kittens and not contagious to people.

While her vision may be slightly reduced and she’ll likely have some scarring, Sourdough is comfortable, visual, and full of life. Her eyes may occasionally need a gentle wipe to remove any mild goop, and if it becomes more frequent, a quick vet visit can help keep her feeling her best. If you're looking for a snuggly, playful companion with a touch of unique charm, Sourdough is ready to bring joy and love into your home!
