Shakira

Shakira is a spicy senior who will show her sweet side once she feels safe. She seems to be a one-person cat and would do best in a quiet home without kids or other pets (after two months she is still hissing at her foster mom's gentle 11yo and seems hyper-vigilant because of frequent noise). While she seems content with lots of solitude and sleep, it's possible she would be more engaged with someone who's around more (foster mom works long hours away from home). When you're laying down Shakira loves to climb on your chest, make biscuits and purr, and be pet. She will also snuggle up alongside you sometimes. She is a particular lady however and will let you know when she's not interested in being pet. Despite being overweight she is very nimble and enjoys chasing toys on a string and kicking her cat nip body pillow. While she does groom regularly she is currently unable to reach her backside which can lead to urine buildup. This may resolve with some weight loss, but in the meantime she'll need to be cleaned or shaved occasionally. Shakira is not a fan of being groomed so this may require two people and a mild sedative. With a patient person in a quiet home Shakira could thrive and live out her days in peace, providing low-maintenance companionship.<br/><br/>Please head to our website to fill out an application prior to setting up a meet.
