About Zahara

Zahara, affectionately known as Itty Bitty Kitty, is a tiny female cat looking for a special place to call home. She arrived at PACC as a stray with concerns about seizures; however, since her time in foster care, she's shown no symptoms and is doing well. Zahara is an independent spirit who enjoys her own company, entertaining herself with toys rather than engaging much with other pets. While she coexists peacefully with other cats and small dogs, her preference is to play solo. Currently living with a young child, Zahara appreciates her space, engaging on her own terms. They have formed a good bond, mainly through toy play. It's worth noting that Zahara isn't fond of being picked up or held. If she feels uncomfortable, she'll let you know with a growl, and if that doesn't work, she may hiss for you to back off. While she can be shy about handling, Zahara is full of personality and charm. If you’re searching for a playful and quirky companion who respects boundaries, this little lady might be the perfect match for you. If you're interested in Zahara, please reach out via email to her foster mom at danielle_mettler@yahoo.com to learn more about her.
