The following is what Kia's foster mom has to say about her! As you can tell from the description, she's timid but after settling in she's quite a joy to have around!:<br/> <br/>"My name is Kia and I'm a little lovebug. When I first moved in with my foster mom I was really scared. My favorite place was under the dresser. I snuck out at night to eat and use the litter box. My foster mom started reaching under the dresser to let me sniff her hand. This was OK, then I wanted more. I started purring and head bumping her hand, she started giving me neck scratches. I wanted more so came out from under the dresser. Now I enjoy looking out the window and sitting in my foster mom's lap for cuddles. I like to play and snack on catnip and am quite talkative. When I first moved in and was scared I hissed to let her know I was keeping my eyes on her and needed some space. My mom respects my boundaries and always let's me sniff her hand before petting me. I don't hiss anymore and communicate with meows. I still need a safe space, that's where I spent most of July 4th, all that noise was too scary for me. <br/>I've been using my litter box and haven't had any accidents. <br/>If you're looking for a cat that enjoys cuddles, a lap to curl up in, some playtime and a story to tell, I'm your girl. "<br/><br/>-Personality: Quiet, Mellow, Gentle<br/>-Can Live with Cats: No, has a history of getting bullied by other cats<br/>-Can Live with Dogs: No, too scary for Kia<br/>-Can Live with Kids: Most likely a no. Older teens would be okay though!<br/>-Needs Indoor Only Home: Yes<br/>-History of Litter Box Issues: Sadly Kia was surrendered for suddenly having urine accidents, but our Vet tested her urine and she actually just had a UTI. Kia is now on a prescription diet of C/D food, and she has not had any accidents since the switch. She will just need to stay on her prescription diet permanently to keep her healthy and accident-free.<br/>-Energy Level: Low/medium<br/>-Bite History: None<br/>-Needs Medical Procedure Before Going Home: No, all ready to go home.<br/><br/>If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application on our website (www.whatcomhumane.org/adopt) or in person at our facility.
