Malina is a sweet, affectionate, and socially curious girl who truly enjoys being around people. She'll happily greet you with a soft little meow and often settles nearby, purring contentedly just to share your company. She's not necessarily a "lap cat," but she could be if invited, loves to being close or being held for a while - altho having you in the same room is enough to make her happy.
She enjoys gentle petting and will let you know when she's had enough with a soft paw touch or a light, polite nibble - just her way of communicating her boundaries. She thrives with calm respectful interaction.
Malina has playful moments, especially in the mornings and evenings. She enjoys batting toys around, chasing them, and even playing a little fetch! She prefers toys over hands and does best with slower, predictable movements, as fast or intense play can startle her - though she recovers quickly.
She is litter box trained, curious, and loves to explore. While she doesn't seem drawn to high perches, she's very interested in doors and vertical spaces, so a tall cat tree or climbing structure may become a favorite hangout spot!
Malina is medium-to-low energy overall and would be a wonderful companion in a calm home. She appears comfortable around gentle dogs and, even if briefly startled, tends to pause rather than run and re-engage again on her terms.
If you're looking for a sweet, social companion who enjoys closeness (without needing constant lap time, but some attention) and communicates clearly and respectfully, Malina may be your perfect match.

Additional adoption info
We test animals for the following:
Dogs: Good with other dogs, possibly cats, food aggression, walks on leash, noting any other attributes we may know.
Cats: Good with other cats, litter box trained, noting any other attributes we may know.
We cannot test if any animal is good with children. We may know if an animal is possibly house trained, but cannot guarantee any animal in the shelter is house trained. We do not know if a dog is good with cats unless we are advised by a person surrendering the animal. We may have an idea of this depending on how the dog reacts to our community cats that live on the property.
Please visit our website for current fees, and to find out about adoption specials! (The website link is at the top and bottom of this page)
