LASSANA had quite the journey to get to the shelter. She was a stray who found her way to a caring person. She received food and affection from her rescuer, but the lady had several kitties already who did not welcome a newcomer. After trying to find a shelter in her area that would take in this beautiful FIV positive kitty, she reached out to us. We had room and were happy to help. LASSANA (which means Beautiful in Sri Lanka) was on her way for the next portion of her journey. The young lady and LASSANA drove from the Detroit area to Lansing to pick up a friend. The friend took LASSANA out of her carrier and this sweet kitty rode the rest of the way in her lap, just enjoying the scenery and the snuggles. LASSANA settled right down in her kennel and seems content to wait and see what happens next! LASSANA loves attention, loves snuggles. She is a little shy at first but quickly overcomes that and asks to be petted. She does have one cute little quirk. Sometimes, she starts off with a hissy, growly noise, which might make someone nervous, however this noise quickly becomes a wonderful purr (kind of like she's revving up her engine). She also can be vocal when she's asking for attention. We do not know how LASSANA is with other cats, dogs, or kids. She is young enough and her disposition is so sweet, she should adapt well with a non-aggressive cat or dog. She also should be fine with children old enough to have been taught soft touch/pets, no squeezing hugs, and prolonged play sessions can overstimulate any cat, which can result in bites or scratches. FIV cats have an immune deficiency. This is not contagious to dogs, people, or other animals. It is not spread by normal cat tussles or play, only by an aggressive cat fight with bites through muscle into bone, or it can be passed by an FIV mother cat to her babies before birth. FIV cats have the same 15-year life expectancy as any housecat. Please read information about FIV. LASSANA is hoping to find her journey's end in the arms and hearts of her very own forever family!
