About Kaia

Kaia is a soft-natured girl with a gentle streak. Her foster reports that Kaia is about 3 years old and has a quiet way about her, usually accompanied by a delicate purr. She prefers high places, especially a window perch for watching squirrels, but her go-to spot is the end of the couch, arms draped lazily over the rest. This devoted mama welcomed her kittens' arrival with trust, and now, with her own kittens adopted, she’s taken to grooming and playing with another kitten in the foster home. When things get noisy or the kittens get rowdy, Kaia either seeks out her person or curls up somewhere cozy, unfazed by the chaos. Kaia has a knack for hugging—she’ll wind around your leg, settle in your arms, or drape her paws across your lap or shoulder—always happy to be close. She loves a good belly rub, likes to help with unboxing or assembling things, and is particularly fond of running through her play tunnel. When you come home, Kaia greets you with eager head shakes and low cackles for love or her favorite wet food. She’s a biscuit-maker, and her snuggles often involve blanket burrowing, lap time, or making a bed out of laundry. Kaia is looking for a calm home where she can continue soaking up affection and offering her quiet companionship. They are ready to love you; are you ready to apply?
