About Malia

Malia arrived at her foster home after losing her litter, and it took her some time to bounce back emotionally. With patience, she’s grown to seek out affection and company, but her foster simply doesn’t have the bandwidth to give her the attention she wants. Malia stays petite and has a reserved, observant nature—she easily keeps tabs on her environment without causing a stir. She fits best in a quiet home where someone appreciates a low-key companion. Malia gets along well with other cats, and with proper introductions, she can even live with a small dog. She’s already spayed, vaccinated, FIV/FeLV tested, dewormed, deflead, had her nails trimmed, and is microchipped. Malia is house trained and prepared for a calm new chapter. Ready to fall in love?
