Hi, I'm Gaia, a 6-year-old white and gray tabby with a gentle spirit, a soft heart, and a whole lot of love to give. My story hasn't been the easiest. I was brought in as a stray kitten through Skokie Animal Control, adopted twice, and returned twice, not because of anything I did, but because life was hard for the humans who loved me. Through it all, I've stayed sweet, calm, and hopeful. Right now, I'm on a little health journey of my own. I'm working on losing weight and getting healthier, and I'm currently in a loving foster home where I'm receiving extra TLC. I'm also on a prescription diet to help prevent bladder stones. With the care I'm getting, I'm already feeling better and making great progress. I can be shy when meeting new people, but with a patient, gentle human, I warm up beautifully. I love quiet spaces, cozy blankets, and settling in near the people I trust. I don't need much, just kindness, consistency, and a peaceful home where I can continue to blossom. If you're looking for a low-key, affectionate companion who's ready for a fresh start and a lifetime of love, I'd really like to meet you. Love, Gaia
