Deema

Meet Deema, a beautiful two-year-old cat with a confident personality, plenty of opinions, and a very clear idea of how she likes to be loved.<br/><br/>Deema arrived at ECPR with a group of nine other cats who traveled all the way from a foster home in Saudi Arabia. She isn't a shy or easily startled cat. Instead, she's confident and curious, but particular about her space and happiest when she gets to decide when and how she interacts.<br/><br/>Deema enjoys attention and will happily ask for pets, but she prefers to keep things on her terms. She has a little "time limit" for affection, often enjoying a few pets before taking a short break and coming back when she's ready for more. Her future family will need to appreciate her communication style and understand that a hiss or a scratch means she's asking for some space.<br/><br/>She would do best with a patient, understanding adopter who is comfortable reading cat body language and respecting boundaries. Older, respectful children 12+ may be a good fit. Deema has lived successfully with other cats, although any future introductions should be slow and thoughtful. Her compatibility with dogs is unknown, so a home without dogs may be best.<br/><br/>When she's not supervising her humans, Deema enjoys her toys, scratching posts, and exploring her surroundings. She's also very food motivated and has a healthy appetite, although she'll be working on maintaining a healthier weight.<br/><br/>Deema does have a history of a hip fracture, but it does not currently appear to cause her any discomfort or limit her daily activities. She will also need a dental cleaning in the near future to address dental tartar and possible periodontal disease.<br/><br/>Deema may have a little spice, but that's part of what makes her so wonderfully herself. She's looking for someone who won't expect her to be a traditional lap cat, but will instead appreciate the relationship that comes from earning her trust, respecting her boundaries, and letting her choose when it's time for affection.<br/><br/>For the right person, Deema will be a funny, confident, and rewarding companion who knows exactly what she wants and isn't afraid to tell you.<br/><br/>Deema is spayed, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped.
