The angel we now present to you arrived in Haven in what is a usual manner for us.
A video circulated of a cat on the streets of Cairo limping, with a bad hind leg.
Koky – founder of Haven – asked a friend to look for this cat. Three days later she was found and arrived in Haven. That was at the end of October 2022.
As you can see in the video, Neeko's paw has recovered nicely. – Watch her play and run!
We estimate that Neeko is 1.5 years old. Maybe a little more.
She is a very beautiful young cat, but 'shy'. Nooko does not allow being touched at this time. That doesn't mean she's a wild cat. Merely touching is a step too far at the moment.
There's a good chance that eventually a non-touch cat can become a touch cat. Maybe just a little bit, like stroking the head. Possibly only while eating.
But it is certainly also possible that she will become a real cuddly cat. However, one cannot assume that. The adopter must be able to accept Neeko as a shy cat.
Trust must be earned. Don't impose yourself. Don't try to force them to stroke them head-on. – Neeko is not aggressive, at least not with us where we respect her boundaries.
At first she will keep her distance. Being suspicious. – When she knows that you can be trusted, she will be more relaxed.
When that trust is there, a shy cat can even lie next to you in bed. Not touching doesn't mean not being social.
Neeko is already social with other cats. She has received her vaccinations against common cat diseases. Deworming treatment and anti-flea treatment. She has a microchip that is waiting to be registered by her adopter.
Neeko is not shy about using the litter box. When she travels it will be with her vaccination record and a negative rabies test.
Who can see past Neeko's aversion to being touched? Do you think… maybe? – Then take a look at our adoption procedure.
Do you still see potential in Neeko? - Awesome! – Then contact us! And make us and Neeko happy.
Are you open to a shy cat but are you also looking for a cuddly cat? - What a luck! – Safe Haven Egypt has more than one cat available. A double adoption is also an option!
We could use your help to bring a cat as luggage. To be a flight parent for Safe Haven Egypt. (click here). - Contact
