About Natasha

Natasha is a 4-year-old sweetheart with a heart full of love. She's eager for affection, often standing on her hind legs to gently ask for head scratches. Natasha loves to weave between your legs, rub against you, and flop onto her back for more pets. While she’s a bit shy around new people and places, give her some time and a quiet space, and she will come out of her shell. On her very first day in foster care, she was already asking for pets. This gentle cat has never hissed or swatted during her stay, proving how calm she can be. Natasha enjoys short play sessions with a wand toy, but her favorite pastime is soaking up love, especially if Churu treats are involved. She’d prefer to keep all four paws on the ground rather than being picked up, thriving in a calm, loving home where she can truly feel safe and adored. Currently located in Ridgewood, NY, Natasha is spayed and up to date on vaccinations. She’s looking for an adopter who understands her sensitive nature and will provide her with the slow, gentle introductions she deserves. Natasha is ready to find her forever family.
