Shira, a Quiet, Shoulder-Riding Cuddle Queen - American Shorthair Cat Available for Adoption in Stamford, Connecticut

Rescued from a colony in the Bronx, Shira lost her sibling right after her rescue. Despite the difficult start, Shira settled into her foster home in just a few days and has proven to be a quiet, easy-going kitten!

At a little over 6 months old, Shira has a moderate activity level. Her favorite toys are kickers which she loves to hug and bunny kick.

If you are looking for a constant companion, Shira is your girl. She is a true "velcro cat" who craves human connection. She is a purr machine who is happy being carried around on your shoulder and makes the best coworker and sleeping buddy.

Shira is a sensitive soul who prefers the company of humans over other animals, and were looking for a forever home where she will get lots of love from all the humans. Shira wants to be on your lap absolutely all the time. She is much more confident and secure when she is the center of her human's world.

Shira can definitely be an only kitten in the home, but if you have gentle, kind cat, that is OK too. She does not do well with big, alpha personalities or hyper. She's a cuddle on the couch kind of girl.

While she can be a little shy in new environments and can be easily startled, she is never aggressive and will immediately relax the moment she is held. She has even done well with children, though we recommend a quiet and calm environment that matches her gentle personality, so children over 10, please.

She is being fostered in Stamford, CT, but we can travel for the right home!

If your home is quiet and able to provide 'round the clock loving and cuddles, Shira is the kitten for you. Apply here: https://form.jotform.com/250073732465152. Adoption Fee: $225
