About Kala

Kala is a bobtail cat who has proven herself to be the ultimate mother—twice. When she finished raising her two kittens, Tarzan and Jane, she did not hesitate to care for four more orphaned babies, making sure every little one stayed clean, healthy, and fed. While she was cautious when she first arrived, Kala has come out of her shell and enjoys attention from her kennel, rolling around and chirping for pets and affection. Her playful butt wiggles and love of soft beds say a lot about her easygoing personality. Despite her sweet side, Kala likes her space from other cats and should be introduced carefully to any new feline roommates. She hasn’t been tested with dogs, and her timid nature means small children may not be ideal companions. Kala is estimated to be around 3 years old, already spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped.
