Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Gaya is a gorgeous older lady with silky long hair and the sweetest soul.
She’s the kind of cat who immediately welcomes you home and is always ready to curl up beside you, purring away, or flop into your lap for cuddles. Despite her dignified age, she hasn’t lost her playful spark, and she loves being part of whatever you’re doing. She spends most of her day following her foster parents around the house and settling down just within reach.
Gaya thrives on attention and chin scratches, making her a perfect match for someone looking for a gentle, affectionate companion. Her calm and friendly nature means she’s happy to meet new people and will quickly win over anyone who crosses her path. She is a celebrity with guests who come over to her foster's house, as she selects one person each week to jump up on and demand scratches from. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving cat who wants a restful and joyful home in her senior years, Gaya is your perfect match.
Gaya recently had a small mammary mass removed from her tummy, the biopsy for which confirmed a fully excised low-grade (stage 1) cancerous mass. There is no evidence of metastasis elsewhere in Gaya's body and no further masses at present, and her quality of life right now is great, so we recommend an adopter monitor her tummy for any future regrowth and keep in touch with a trusted vet to make sure she stays happy and healthy while entering her golden years.
