About Shakira

Shakira is a sweet and loving cat who may come off as shy initially, but she blossoms when comfortable. She loves gentle petting and expresses her affection by rolling at your feet and making air biscuits. However, she isn't fond of being confined, especially in a cat carrier, where she'll passionately 'sing' her displeasure. Shakira enjoys sitting on laps but prefers to choose the time herself rather than being held. This young lady thrives in a calm environment with older, considerate children and would benefit from having kitty companions, as she is very sociable. While her temperament around dogs is still a mystery, a slow introduction is always recommended. Shakira is spayed, up-to-date on vaccinations, and microchipped. Consider welcoming Shakira into your home — she’s ready to bring love into your life. *Highly recommended to be adopted into a home with existing cat(s) or adopted with another cat/kitten.* Click apply to start the adoption process.
