This cat is withdrawn
Update 12/02/2024: Unfortunately, Almaia never found an adoptive family. She died of Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP)
Just over a year old (at the time of this writing), young Almaia has spent all but the first few weeks of her life in the Haven.
If you know anything about SHE, you know that Koky is a magnet for cats. No matter where she goes or what she does, they'll find her. Shopping? Cat in the cart. Coffee shop? Kat sits in the chair at her table, staring at her. Pharmacy? Cat sits just outside the door, begging for help.
And so it was with Almaia. Koky made the mistake of leaving her house one day in late March 2022, only to encounter this little kitten on the street, screaming for attention. She was alone, without food, without water and without mother cat. After some research with the locals to make sure it was an abandoned or orphaned cat, can you guess who accompanied Koky to the Haven that afternoon? Well, it was little Miss Almaia, who has grown into a beautiful one-year-old since she was found.
Described as playful and friendly by the local team, she never had her own home or her own people. We expect this young girl to bond with her own people. There will of course be a period of adjustment, because she has never had her own home or person(s). But don't worry – our team is here to make this transition as easy as possible for both the adopter and Almaia.
This sweet cat has been sterilized, microchipped, vaccinated against rabies with the laboratory blood test and vaccinated against standard cat diseases. When she travels to her new home, she will do so with her original rabies laboratory blood test certificate and her vaccination record so that her new adopter knows when her vaccinations are required. She is litter box trained.
Having lived almost her entire life within the safety of the Haven, we want Almaia to maintain that same level of safety in her forever home.
If she is allowed in the garden, it must be completely enclosed with the special fencing for cats. Or with a catio. Otherwise, she should be kept as an indoor/house cat.
We believe that indoor cats can live a happy, fulfilled and interesting life with proper attention, daily playtime and interesting toys, objects to climb on, etc. Under no circumstances should Almaia be a free-roaming cat, even in a quiet neighbourhood.
This girl still has some “kitten” left in her, so her adopter/family needs to understand that she needs an outlet for her energy. She gets along well with other cats in the Haven, and also with the cat-friendly dog that is there occasionally. We expect she will fit in well with most households, including those with respectful children.
All adoptions are dependent on a successful home check (carried out via video call) and an adoption fee. See What is the adoption procedure at SHE?
If this sweet girl's expressive face, her friendly and open character or her background appeal to you and you are interested in offering her a forever home, please contact us. If you are not familiar with adoption through our organization, we will be happy to tell you all the details.
If Almaia is not the cat for you, or if you are not currently looking for a new feline companion, would you please share her profile in your circle?
The more her information is shared, the more success we will have in finding her the right home. Word of mouth is still the best way for us to find new adopters! Thank you for your help and all you do!
