About Raina

Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now! Meet raina, a sweet and loving mama cat currently living with her foster mom and her five kittens, all of whom are now ready for their own forever homes—just like she is. Raina is a young adult, estimated to be just a year or two old, and she is up to date on her vaccinations and spayed for your peace of mind. This lovely tabby has a beautiful short, grayish-blue coat and is described as laid back; her favorite thing in the world is lap time, soaking up affection and gentle pets from her foster mom. Raina isn't interested in toys, preferring the calm company of people. She tends to do best as the only cat, although she absolutely adores her kittens. When introduced to her foster's dog, Raina hisses and spats for a brief moment, but quickly settles down once she realizes there's no threat. Therefore, she could do well with a gentle, respectful dog in the home. Raina is house trained, making her a low-maintenance companion who's ready for the next chapter in a loving household. As a Capricorn (born January 1), she’s likely to bring a calm and steady presence to your life. Make their next chapter their best one yet.
