Gianna is a tough but sweet teenager. Little is known about her early life or where she came from. Placed with a KittyKind fosterer, she has proven to be sharp, smart, and a quick learner. Her curiosity makes her an explorer who enjoys watching the outside world, snoozing in closets, and hanging out on shelves. She communicates with her facial expressions and voice, and she listens well. She understands No, which is really important as she continues to be trained. She is outgoing and social, too! She loves company and being included in conversations, but is still figuring out the nuances of more intimate human interaction: She’s learning that humans do not play as rough as her fellow street felines and yet that she can trust them more! She might tap you if she gets too excited during play or feels you’ve crossed a boundary during petting, and she may release her frustration that you’re not feeding understanding her needs (including not feeding her quickly enough) by pouncing on your feet as you walk by, she does so with claws retracted and her defensiveness should subside as her trust increases. She enjoys when you lay down next to her and holds promise of becoming a cuddler once she bonds with and trusts her person.
Gianna is an energetic, playful cat. She loves playing with The Cat Dancer and will snatch it to run away with the mouse. She also enjoys her cardboard scratch pad, her cushy comforter, and to perch. She is motivated by food. She keeps herself tidy and has perfect litter box habits.
Gianna seems to prefer being the only cat in the home and would do best in a quiet home, without children. She likes attention and is an unpolished gem waiting for her special person. Gianna is spayed, FIV & FeLV negative, and up-to-date on vaccinations. To adopt Gianna, email adopt@kittykind.org.

Their adoption process
Additional adoption info
All cats and kittens are vaccinated and tested for FELV (feline leukemia) and FIV (feline immunodeficiency virus), and if old enough, are neutered or spayed.
We will ask you some questions about your home and we will be glad to answer any questions you may have. Adopting a pet is a long-term commitment. We ask you to sign the KittyKind Adoption Agreement.
We will always take a cat back FOR ANY REASON. We will also work with you to place her in another good home if (after a period of adjustment) the adoption doesn't work out.
We do ask for a $125 adoption fee to help cover some of our food and veterinary expenses. For certain purebred cats (Siamese, Persian, Maine Coon, etc.), we request a $150 - $300 adoption fee.

More about this rescue
KittyKind is a New York City not-for-profit, no-kill, all-volunteer cat rescue and adoption group. All of us at KittyKind have opened our hearts and homes — and emptied our pockets — to save thousands of cats from neglect or abuse. Every cat we rescue is given food, shelter, medical care, a safe place to lay his or her head and most importantly of all, a reason to purr. We do not believe in rescuing a cat or kitten only to euthanize it if it has a broken leg or needs extended nursing care. We never give up if there is a chance of saving them. We take responsibility for each and every life we save and if a cat or kitten is unadoptable, they have a home with us for life.
We believe that animals are not property to be discarded, disposed of, or killed just for the crime of being homeless or unwanted. We believe that people should be friends, caretakers and protectors of animals. We believe that we must take responsibility for the life of every animal we rescue who through no fault of their own, is abandoned, sick, disabled, old or unable to care for themselves. We are dedicated to relieving their suffering, providing food, shelter, medical care and comfort until we can place them in a safe and loving home.
