My name is Alana!

We got Alana when she was a kitten - maybe 5 weeks old. A friend of ours had a cat that gave birth, and he couldn't keep the kittens, so we adopted one of them. Alana is 8 years old. I believe her birth month is August, and she likely was born toward the beginning of August 2017. We have to rehome her because it's becoming difficult to keep up with cleaning after our cats, on top of the cost of food, occasional vet visits, and replacing what they scratch and ruin. Alana is friendly, although she doesn't enjoy being picked up much. When my wife and I are lying in bed, Alana likes to sit on my wife. Alana is very selective about the cleanliness of her litter box, and even though she's been litter box trained, she regularly uses the bathroom outside of the box, which is becoming a problem for my wife and me, as we're getting older and don't have the energy we used to. She's definitely a sweet girl. She needs a family that has the time to train her or has a self-cleaning litter box.
