My name is Zendaya 3!

Cuddle-queen, Affectionate, Charming

Meet Zendaya! Zendaya is a gorgeous Manx with a heart as warm as her calico coat. Her green eyes are enchanting! She’s a playful, curious girl who loves spending quality time with her humans. While she enjoys all kinds of toys, her current favorite is a silicone one that keeps her entertained for hours.

This cuddle queen has a high affection level—whether it’s napping together, squeezing your arm for snuggles, or simply being in your company, Zendaya thrives on love and connection. She’s a gentle communicator, greeting you with a sweet meow when you enter the room but otherwise remaining calm and quiet.

Zendaya has been diagnosed with feline hyperesthesia, a condition in which she is extremely sensitive to being touched in certain areas, making her prone to overstimulation and anxiety. It’s well-managed with two medications. Despite this, she’s remains a happy, people-loving cat who shows no signs of her condition disrupting her joy or love for life.

Her only true need is a compassionate and understanding adopter who can revel in the love and affection she shares so generously, be aware and respectful of how and when she wants her pets, and provide her daily meds. She can obviously still be interacted with and touched regularly, but it needs to be on her own terms to avoid stress, anxiety, and overstimulation.

Zendaya would do best in a home where she can be the center of attention, playing, cuddling, and sharing peaceful naps with her favorite humans. If you’re looking for a loving, playful companion who will brighten your days with her loving nature and calico charm, Zendaya is ready to meet you.

All APA! cats are fully vetted, spayed or neutered, and have updated vaccines and a microchip. Lifetime support is offered by our Cat Behavior Team.
