About Katla
Katla is the kind of cat whose heart shines through plainly—her nose even takes on a heart shape. Quiet and gentle, she expresses affection with airy meows, persistent head bonks, and plenty of snuggles. When she's especially happy, Katla can't help but drool and will insist on curling close, sometimes pressing right against your chest or nose. She loves calm mornings, patches of sunshine, and spending time with her people—following you around, offering emotional support, and making biscuits as she goes. At nearly 10, Katla has weathered a lot, but her outlook remains soft and open. She has lived with other cats, dogs, and children, but does best in a peaceful home where she can soak up steady care and attention. Her litter box habits are perfect, she's fine with her claws being trimmed, and she keeps herself content with gentle play. Katla will require a home familiar with senior cat needs: she has a low-grade heart murmur that calls for routine vet visits and may need future medication. She’s also managing early-stage kidney disease with vet-monitored diet and bi-monthly fluid therapy. Katla handles her treatments calmly and will come with a starter kit of her special food. Her adopter should be ready for her needs to evolve over time, and committed to partnering with a vet to keep her thriving through her golden years. Katla is in Lima, OH.
