My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

*** Kova is in a foster home ***

White w/brown tabby spots, long hair, spayed female, born approx. 7/1/22, #18541

Cats: nope
Dogs: nope
Children: cat-savvy kids

Last year, Kova decided she was tired of being alone and outside. After finding the perfect house in the neighborhood, she stood on the doorstep and belted out her best meows... "mew, mew!" The residence happened to belong to a Rescue House volunteer! A week before Christmas, Kova was thrilled to move in with her new family. Unfortunately, it wasn't meant to be; one of her adopters had allergies. We welcomed Kova back into our clowder and promised to find her true forever-and-ever home!

Kova is the sweetest kitty in town! In fact, she was loafing on our laps since day one. Outgoing with a funny personality, she simply adores people. As you arrive home, you can expect lots of headbutts, leg rubs, and meows. After the welcome party is over, she's off doing her own thing again. A balance of social and independent, she likes hanging out in the same room as you but also enjoys having her own space. When she gently wraps her paws around your leg, it is her way of saying that it's time to play! Her favorite toys are the cat catcher and laser pointer. The queen of hide-n-seek, you've been found when you see her peeking around the corner. After a meal, she usually gets a burst of the zoomies and speeds around the abode like a racecar. Not fearful of strangers, she'll even dash to the door to greet your guests. This fluffy diva prefers to make the initial move. Newcomers who try to pet her when she's not ready will get a warning hiss or swat. Offended, she'll flash a dirty look before sashaying away. The rule is: Kova will "pet" them first by giving a head-nudge and weaving between their feet. Then they have the all-clear to stroke her silky coat. At night, she requests that you keep the bedroom door open so she can roam around. A considerate girl, she promises not to disturb your sleep. Once you wake up, a cheerful Kova will meow her "good mornings" as you both start your fun-filled day together!

Kova must be the only kitty in the household. She does not like other felines and would not do well with dogs. Since Kova can get overstimulated with constant petting, older cat-savvy kids who understand her boundaries would be ideal.

Are you looking for America's next top kitty? She's easy, breezy, beautiful... Kova girl! What are you waiting for?
