My story

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

***Thanks to a donation from the Andy and Connie Ziemelis Charitable Fund, select cats are having their adoption fees sponsored by the Home Sweet Home Program – including Zanzibar's!

Zanzibar is a 2 year old spayed female. She is current on her vaccinations, microchipped, and FIV/FeLV negative!

Meet Zanzibar, a cat as beautiful as the island she's named after. Zanzibar is a free spirited cat who prefers to spend her days with the cats in her home versus cuddling with her humans although she does like slow and gentle pets! She is currently working on body handling, and working on more of her people skills in a foster home.

It has taken her a few weeks to settle into a home life, learning that she can trust people, and that they love her. She is still timid but, is building more trust every day. She likes sitting in the window, getting spoiled with churu treats (she is a very food motivated girl!!), and playing chase with other cats in her foster home. She would do best in a quiet home with a kitty friend to continue boosting her confidence! Her and her foster sibling Cabella hit it off right away, watching Cabella soak up the love from her foster has greatly improved Zanzibar's trust in humans!

Zanzibar does still hide when new people come into the home, so she may not be the most social host for guests but, with time, patience and lots of love and understanding, Zanzibar will make someone very happy. This cutie is also very vocal when she wants to explore a new space and it adamant on letting her humans know by squeaking and meowing until she gets her way.

Because Zanzibar relies on feline friends for comfort and confidence she is required to go home with another cat and, due to her timid and reserved nature she should not go to a home with any children under 10 years of age. Any dogs in her new home should be cat-savvy and low-key dogs that will not chase or startle her. Zanzibar appreciates the understanding of anyone interested in adopting her!
