Lassana’s story started on the streets until a kind person stepped in. Even after rescue, things weren’t simple—her first stop was a house full of cats who didn’t want a newcomer, but eventually, she made her way into caring hands. Lassana is FIV positive, which doesn’t slow her down or shorten her lifespan. She arrived after a long car ride, curling up in a helpful friend’s lap and quietly watching the scenery. At the shelter, Lassana has learned to settle in amid a group of rambunctious male cats. She’s a quieter presence, waiting patiently for her turn and keeping to herself until she feels safe. She’s affectionate and loves attention and snuggles. While she starts off shy, she quickly warms up and asks to be petted. Sometimes she’ll let out a little hiss or growl at first, but it quickly turns into purring—as if she’s revving her own little engine. She tends to be vocal, especially when she wants your company. Lassana gets along with other cats and, with enough patience, would likely adapt well to a calm dog. She’s also likely to do fine with older, gentle children. Her perfect home would be patient, understanding of her quirks, and able to offer plenty of affection.
