Story
Nefertiti is a bundle of sugar and spice and everything nice mixed with a little bit of sass and pushiness. She is a cuddle bug and she aggressively pushes and shoves to get her rightful spot in your lap and in front of your attention. It's all worth it though, because her little face is so adorable and her purr is so endearing. One downside of all this cuddling is that it can be challenging to get a good picture of her without her walking towards the camera because she just wants pets instead of a photo shoot. She is the smallest of a litter of six kittens that were born to s semi-feral mom found outside a school. She's been living the good life with her siblings, but she definitely ready for her forever home. She has been fully vaccinated and spayed. She gets along well with my two dogs and gets along mostly with other cats, though she doesn't always love sharing the attention. If you're looking for a bonded pair, that's great, because Nefertiti gets along well with her more chill sister Cleopatra. She is the black and white beauty in a picture here. If you are interested in one or both of them, then please text or call Rachel at 661-886-0805.
