Since her sweet sisters Callie and Tessa recently had some luck finding adopters, Zuzu is becoming quite concerned that we haven't advertised her yet.
So Miss Zuzu, this one is for you!
To remind you of the background, Zuzu arrived with her mother and sisters in June 2021 when the Haven night worker called Koky around midnight. A woman had knocked on the Haven's door, carrying a trash can containing a mama cat and her three kittens. The cat had given birth in her garden and the woman didn't want her there. We were full at the time, but the woman said if we didn't accept the cats, she would just dump them on the street.
And so Zuzu, Callie and Tessa, along with mom Tara, all came to live in the Haven. Zuzu turns two years old this summer, after spending just a few weeks of her life in the Haven. She is affectionate, funny and playful and is a favorite of visitors. Keep in mind that she has never had her own home or her own people, so we expect she will be thrilled when the time comes!
Despite being almost two years old, this little lady still has a lot of “kitten” in her and loves to play with interesting toys and seek attention from people who seem interested in her. Due to her easy-going nature, we expect her to fit in well with most households, including those with another friendly cat and/or respectful children. She will likely develop a strong bond of trust with her new person(s).
Because she has lived her life within the safety of the Haven, Zuzu must either be an indoor cat or in a cat run or completely cat-proof yard (with the special enclosure). A standard fence is not sufficient. It is our experience that the SHE cats do not see vehicles as a danger. Even on the quietest roads or dead-end streets, our cats have suffered life-threatening injuries. We must ensure that Zuzu receives the same level of safety in her new home as she is used to in the Haven.
No exceptions, please. We believe that indoor cats can live happy and contented lives with the right attention and daily playtime.
Zuzu is a very intelligent cat; you can see that just by looking at her and studying her eyes. Some SHE adopters have had success leash or harness training their cats, and that could well be an option for Zuzu if both parties are willing to try it. We can provide advice and guidance on the best way to do this.
Zuzu has been vaccinated against standard cat diseases and rabies. She will travel with her original rabies blood test results from a certified laboratory. Like all our cats, Zuzu is sterilized and microchipped. She is potty trained.
All adoptions are dependent on a successful home check (carried out via video call) and an adoption fee. See page What is the adoption procedure at SHE? .
If this graceful red-haired girl has caught your attention and you would like to offer to adopt her (or just to find out more), then send a message. We will do our best to contact you within 24 hours. We're also happy to answer questions about adoption through SHE, and anything else you have in mind.
If you're not in the market for a new cat right now, or if Zuzu doesn't seem like the right choice for you, can you help us by sharing this link where you can? (see sharing options at the bottom of this post)
Or by spreading existence across the Safe Haven Egypt? We get the majority of our new adopters through word of mouth, so please help us spread the word!
Our team, including Zuzu, thank you for your help and continued support.
