Captivating Kaia is a shy but brave beauty. Self-sufficient and cautious, Kaia appreciates having her own space at home where she can explore and get acquainted with you at her own pace. Kaia loves nocturnal reconnaissance, and, once she’s comfy, sleeping with her humans for a bit every night. Kaia’s other favorite things? Brushing! Belly rubs! Mouse toys! Cat tv! Sun-drenched snoozes! Kaia also loves to chat, her meows range from sweet to sassy, but her charm is constant. Kaia is looking for a patient family who will give her time and space to adjust to her new home. A safe room will be critical to helping her settle…but don’t be surprised when her curiosity leads to early break outs!
Is Kaia the kitty for you? Kaia would do best as the only pet in a home with older children or adults-only who can provide her with a patience environment to open up on. She’s currently on daily medications to help with her mood, which she easily takes in food. Kaia is also working on her bathroom habits and is in need of continued potty pad training. Her adopters should be prepared to continue this routine or to help her gradually transition with positive reinforcement and consistency.
So if you’re looking for a gorgeous, independent feline friend, “hidden gem” Kaia can’t wait to be queen of your castle!
