Let us tell ya, all about Nala!Firecracker Nala is a beautiful Bengal ready for a new beginning.ABOUT NALA- At shelter- Nala is a skittish cat who has minimal experience with humans. As such, it takes time for her to feel secure enough to express her full, unfiltered self.- Nala has made tremendous progress from hiding out in her cubby. Now she prefers confidently walking about the shelter during “out time”, sometimes even playfully teasing the other cats.- She is full of zest and high energy with a penchant for morning “zoomies” and climbing to the very top of the tallest cat tree. When she does settle down for a snooze, the cat tree is her happy place.- She’s commandeered her own private suite at the shelter, which is a larger kennel with extra space to help her relax and be more comfortable.- Nala is a very vocal and chatty cat. She may be shy around people, but she’s not shy about expressing her opinion! - She will meow excitedly for attention but then run away and hide if approached too quickly. However, she is proving to be more tolerant of the company of others and is beginning to accept gentle pets from volunteers when she feels safe.- As she starts to warm up Nala will openly and enthusiastically play with cat toys. Wands and any toy that is interactive are a big hit. She loves a good scratching pad too. - One proven way to build trust with Nala efficiently is by offering plenty of Churu!- Nala is currently enrolled in EHS’s socialization program, where dedicated volunteers are working to help her become more comfortable around people.- Nala is spayed, microchipped, dewormed, flea-treated, SNAP-tested for FIV/FeLV, and is up to date on core vaccinations.NALA’S IDEAL HOME- Skittish cats like Nala fare best in quiet, calm environments, preferably without small children or dogs.- During Nala’s socialization progress she has shown more openness to interacting with her fellow cats, however, she may still prefer to be the sole cat of the household.- Nala will do best in a home with lots of space for her to sprint, explore, and climb so she can burn off her excess energy.- Potential adopters should be prepared to commit the time, effort, and patience required to help Nala settle into her new environment. EHS will provide post-adoption support to assist Nala with a successful transition to her forever home.Nala’s next chapter is just beginning, and she will need
