The elder cat was taken in by a foster family but was not engaging well with her carer and returned to the shelter.

The poor kitty was later diagnosed with high blood pressure and kidney disease, which made it more difficult to find her a forever home.

She became more sociable and relaxed once she was on the right mediation and diet.

Katniss was finally picked by an adopter on April 17 and is now called Ceci.

“She is doing great in her new home. She enjoys watching the deer and birds outside and getting attention from her new family, and her health is much better as well. She is now 9 years old,” the shelter told Newsweek.
