About Deema

Meet Deema, a striking young cat with a confident personality and distinct preferences when it comes to affection. She made her way to Emerald City Pet Rescue from a foster home in Saudi Arabia, bringing along her curious spirit. Deema isn’t shy; she’s inquisitive and enjoys attention, but she wants it on her terms. She'll happily ask for pets but appreciates keeping interactions to a manageable level. If she hisses or swats, it’s her way of signaling that she needs some space. A patient adopter who understands feline body language would be ideal for Deema. She might do well with older, respectful children aged 12 and up. While she’s lived harmoniously with other cats, any future introductions should be gradual. Homes with dogs may not be the best fit as her compatibility with them is unknown. A playful cat at heart, Deema loves her toys, scratching posts, and exploring her environment. She's food motivated and has a hearty appetite, so helping her maintain a healthier weight will be part of her journey. Although Deema has a history of a hip fracture, it doesn’t seem to slow her down or cause her pain. A dental cleaning is also on the horizon to manage some tartar and potential periodontal issues. Deema may have a bit of spice, but that’s part of her charm. For the right match, she promises to be a funny and rewarding companion, someone who clearly knows what she wants and isn’t afraid to express it. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
