My name is Amara (Courtesy Post)!

Amara is a shy but sweet Siamese-mix, 6-month old kitten with big blue eyes who loves to cuddle and to play. She is cream colored with an abstract design on her body in light brown with pale orange highlights. She has a striped tail with an orange tip.

Amara can be quite talkative and will purr as soon as she sees her person. With strangers, she is more tentative and often hides behind a chair.

Her favorite game is to pounce on a toy. She will hide behind anything. For some reason she thinks the toy mouse couldn’t possibly see her behind that ball of yarn. She’ll crawl into a paper bag, animating it as she gets into her best pounce position. She’ll then leap forward out of the bag, looking a little confused about what exactly she was after.

Amara is fascinated with faces: staring directly into eyes, kissing a forehead, and even once putting her paw into a yawning mouth, purring the whole time. If there’s a choice between food and lap time, she’ll grab a bite and then jump onto the lap to cuddle.

I met Amara when she would cry to me from across a busy street where I was feeding a colony of cats. She was smart enough to wait until I came to her side of the street to eat. Being patient when hungry is an unusual trait in a kitten. 

It took Amara only a couple of days at our house to go from hiding behind a chair to running to greet me, purring loudly. We’re looking for someone who will give Amara the chance to come out from hiding to be 
loved.

Amara is being cared for by a member of the community.  To arrange to meet this cat or find out more, please fill out our application here: https://www.thedancingcat.org/adopt-courtesy
