Hey mate, just to let you know, this seems to be a Scottish fold cat. They have a genetic defect that causes cartilage weakness (that is the reason for the curled ears) and are prone to polycystic kidney dosease. Sooner or later it might need pain relief because of that (the cartilage of their joints gets damaged over time), so it should be regularly checked by a veterinarian.
That being said, I wish both of you all the best :)
Thank you! I've always thought Folds were adorable, so that made it much harder to turn her away.
I had never heard of their arthritis issues until after we got her and I started researching.
