About Mia

Mia is in urgent need of a new home. This spirited cat is struggling at the care center, where her high energy and intelligence are not being properly channeled. She requires interactive play sessions 3-4 times a day to keep her happy and engaged. If left without adequate stimulation, Mia can display rough play behaviors, including biting and scratching. Her ideal adopters will need experience with cat behavior, especially in recognizing signs of overstimulation, and will have to create a consistent routine with feeding and playtime to help manage her energy effectively. While she enjoys attention and is easy to handle, Mia tends to play a bit roughly and might not be suitable for homes with young children. Older children may work if they understand her energetic nature. Mia loves climbing cat trees and engaging with interactive toys. Having someone patient to help her adjust to a stable home will greatly benefit her well-being. She brings joy and charm with a wide range of playful antics; all she needs is the right environment to flourish. Take this opportunity to welcome Mia into your loving home.
