Nala’s foster family told us: “Nala is such a sweet, playful companion. Nala is a gentle and curious kitty who’s ready to navigate the world, and is full of lovel! Nala thrives on routine and patience. Nala embodies joyful play! She gently chases balls, investigates new toys, and is diligent with cat game videos on YouTube. While she’s independent during the day, she enjoys my company in the evenings—she’ll happily sit nearby while I work or unwind.
Nala’s favorite things are: Naps in all the places you like hanging out. If you like it, she loves it!
She’s not so into: Loud noises, especially sudden, unexpected ones. She will run but reemerge once everything settles.
Her special talents are: Nala is fast! If you throw a toy, trust me, she`ll catch it before it gets to the other side! Then she will patiently wait for you to throw it again so she can go and catch it, slipping in sliding in the process.
If Nala was an ice cream flavor, she would be: Strawberry! Nala is gentle, sweet, and has a sensitive, romantic soul. She values emotional connection. She may be introverted, but is deeply caring and empathetic.
If you are interested in adopting Nala, please email ashezla.co@gmail.com to arrange a virtual meet & greet with the pet’s foster parent. You should receive a reply within 24-48 hours.
