About Phalba

Meet Phalba, a two-year-old orange tabby whose bold personality shines as brightly as her striking coat. Phalba blends affection and entertainment with ease: she soaks up attention and pets, especially if snacks are involved, and she’s not quiet about her love of food. Talkative and endlessly curious, Phalba is always keeping tabs on the household and engaging her people in her own witty way. She fits in well with other cats, provided she gets to maintain her VIP status—confident and a bit bossy, Phalba expects the spotlight but gets along well in a multi-cat home. Her early life outdoors ended after she was rescued as an injured kitten, and she’s adapted smoothly to living indoors since making a full recovery. Phalba is litter box trained and even navigates automatic litter boxes without fuss. She tolerates dogs just fine but won’t hesitate to stand her ground and set boundaries with a gentle warning swipe—she knows what she wants and makes it known. Toys, cuddles, and playtime delight her, and she brings both playful energy and steady companionship. Phalba is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, FIV negative, and searching for a home ready to appreciate her big heart and lively spirit. They are ready to love you; are you ready to apply?
