About Zahara

Zahara is an adorable little lady, affectionately nicknamed Itty Bitty Kitty by her foster mom due to her petite size. Rescued as a stray, she was initially observed for seizure activity, but since being in foster care, she has shown no symptoms. Zahara enjoys her independence, playing with toys, and keeping herself entertained. While she tolerates the presence of other cats and small dogs, she prefers to interact on her own terms. She currently lives with a young boy who respects her need for personal space, allowing them to bond over playtime rather than handling. It's important to note that Zahara is not a fan of being picked up or held. If she's uncomfortable, she’ll make her feelings clear with a little growl, or sometimes a hiss. This girl is not looking for cuddles; she seeks a home where her quirky personality can shine without pressure. If you appreciate a playful and independent companion who values her space, Zahara may just be your perfect match. Let’s see if you can provide the loving home she deserves.
