Leena (Very Shy)'s Story

“Leena is one of our shyer cats, however when you earn her trust, she will show you that she is an absolute sweetheart. She enjoys playtime with the infamous peacock feather or the laser light and she will flop on her back to show you how she is relaxed. Leena likes to watch Cat TV and listen to the sounds of nature. She is also very calm and friendly towards other cats, therefore, she would do well with the company of another friendly cat or cats who may bond with her while offering her support and comfort. As Leena does not like to be handled a lot, she will need a home without small children. Her new family to be will need to be understanding of her special needs and allow her to adjust at her own pace. Using only positive based methods and play therapy is very important in ensuring her transition is successful and stress free.” <br/>~beautiful bio crafted by volunteer extraordinaire Jana<br/><br/>Leena's DOB is: 8/24/2019<br/><br/>We would like Leena to be adopted with her buddy Patrick. <br/>Patrick's DOB is: 4/8/2018<br/><br/>Shelter Hours<br/>Monday, Tuesday, Thursday & Friday: 7pm-9pm: Visitation Only<br/>Wednesday: 7pm-8:30pm: Visitation Only<br/><br/>Weekend Hours by Appointment Only.<br/>Please text 907-230-6394 to make these arrangements.<br/>Appointment times are:<br/>3:15, 4:00, 4:45<br/><br/>Our adoption policies and procedures are rigorous and thoughtful as our goal is to match you with a cat who will become a loving addition to your home for the rest of his/her wonderful life. <br/><br/>Seeing photos and videos are great first steps, however, meeting the cat in person and seeing if you connect is critically important.
