Story
Hi, my name is Nala! Here is what would work best for me in my new home:-Personality: Shy, but affectionate once you get to know -Can Live with Cats: Yes, Nala lived with other cats previously. However, it is possible Nala's litter box issues are caused by stress and other cats may exacerbate that issue.-Can Live with Dogs: No, Nala would be too afraid of barking and fast movement. -Can Live with Kids: Yes, ages 12 and older who know how to go slow and give her space. -Needs Indoor Only Home: Yes, she has been an indoor only cat her whole life and being outside would be too scary for her. -History of Litter Box Issues: Yes, possibly due to other cat in home, high stress, litter preference or due to lack of space to do her business. Ask staff for tips on achieving perfect litter box use.-Energy Level: Medium-Bite History: No-Needs Medical Procedure Before Going Home: Nope!Additional Information: Nala is a sweet but sometimes nervous girl. She needs lots of time to warm up to new environments and needs a family that is willing to go slow and let her come out of her shell at her own speed. Although she had litter box issues in the past, switching her to clay litter with cat attract in a large pan has fixed this in the shelter environment. Nala is very affectionate and will be an amazing addition to a suitable home.
