About Shakira
Shakira is a spicy senior cat with a sweet side that emerges once she feels secure in her environment. Ideally, she would thrive in a quiet home without children or other pets. After two months in foster care, she still hisses at her foster mom's gentle 11-year-old, indicating her preference for solitude. Shakira enjoys a tranquil life filled with naps but may become more engaged with a companion who stays home more often. When you lay down, she loves to climb onto your chest, knead your lap, and purr softly. While she's not shy about showing affection, she also sets her boundaries—nudging you away is her way of saying she's had enough petting for now. Though she's overweight, Shakira remains active and enjoys playful moments chasing string toys and kicking her catnip pillow. She's got a bit of a grooming challenge due to her size and may need help with her backside to avoid urine buildup. Weight loss could ease this situation, but in the meantime, occasional cleaning or shaving will be necessary. With patience and a quiet space, Shakira can flourish as a low-maintenance companion.
