| Natasha was dumped in the city as a kitten. When found last fall she was emaciated, half grown and was raising her own pair of kittens in an abandoned garage. Unfortunately she was nearly done in from worms, mites, infection and lack of food. She was half wild and couldn't be approached so PAN volunteers had to trap her. After extensive treatment and 9 months of love and gentle handling Natasha is in good health and is learning to trust people again. She needs a little time to get to know someone but will then reward them with boundless affection. She loves to snuggle and be patted and also likes to play. She is still quite shy though and hides during thunderstorms. She will sometimes hiss and swat when scared but she has never used her claws or bitten. Natasha would do best a quiet adult environment, preferably as an only cat or with calm older cats. She would probably also be ok with a laid back dog. With her shyness she would not do well with younger children but would be a perfect companion for a gentle older child. Natasha needs to be an indoor cat. |
