On the streets of Cairo<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The angel we now present to you arrived in Haven in what is a usual manner for us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A video circulated of a cat on the streets of Cairo limping, with a bad hind leg. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Koky \u2013 founder of Haven \u2013 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you can see in the video, Neeko's paw has recovered nicely. \u2013 Watch her play and run!<\/p>\n\n\n

We estimate Neeko was born around July or August 2022. So now (September 2024) she is a 2 year old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trust must be earned. Don't impose yourself. Don't try to force them to stroke them head-on. \u2013 Neeko is not aggressive, at least not with us where we respect her boundaries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At first she will keep her distance. Being suspicious. \u2013 When she knows that you can be trusted, she will be more relaxed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When that trust is there, a shy cat can even lie next to you in bed. Not touching doesn't mean not being social.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Neeko is not shy about using the litter box. When she travels it will be with her vaccination record and a negative rabies test. <\/p>\n\n\n
