Zaynab

Meet our sweet girl, Zaynab.

She must have been born around August 2022. So she is 1.5 years old. (March 2024) Her name means “beauty”, “fragrant flower” or “grace”.

She was rescued on the street as a very young kitten, without a mother cat. Because of her age, she had to be bottle-fed. There is always a risk that these little ones will not survive, but Zaynab has grown into a kind and gentle girl.

Zaynab has a sweet character – not an in-your-face cat, but very grateful for human attention when it is offered. (See the video below, courtesy of our equally lovely Admin, Deborah Falcus).

Zaynab did not join the crowd of other cats that Deborah circled for attention on a recent visit. But when Deborah approached Zeynab she was happy with love. The only thing a little different about her is that she doesn't like dry food/kibble — so far she only eats wet food.

Maybe her new adopter can try some different flavors or options with her? 🙂

Because she was just a baby when she was rescued, the only home Zaynab has ever known is the Haven. She never had her own house, her own people. Given her temperament, we expect she would fit in well with most households, including those with other cats, with the cat-friendly dog and with respectful children.

Zaynab must be able to maintain the same level of safety in her forever home as she had in the Haven. This means that she either needs to be adopted by someone with a completely cat-proof yard (with the special fencing) or catio Either as an indoor cat/house cat.

We believe that with a few adjustments, such as daily playtime, indoor cats can live happy and content lives. Additionally, many of our adopters have had success training our cuties to go outside with a harness and leash, something that could be explored.

Zaynab is litter box trained. And like all our cats, she is sterilized, microchipped and vaccinated against standard cat diseases and rabies. If she travels, she will do so with her certificate from the laboratory that certifies her rabies blood test. She also has a negative FIV/FeLV test.

All adoption offers are subject to a successful home check (done via video call) and an adoption contribution. See page What is the adoption procedure at SHE?

If you think this young lady would be a good fit for your home and you are interested, then by all means, please contact us Contact.

We will do our best to contact you within 24 hours. If you have any questions about SHE, how adoption works with us, or how we work, please don't hesitate to contact us.

She is ready to pack her bags and go to her forever home!
