Zara - Calico and Domestic Long Hair Cat for Adoption in Cottonwood Heights, Utah

Meet Zara!
**Professional entertainer, fetch champion, and connoisseur of unconventional toys!**

Zara is a wonderfully independent 2-year-old girl with a big imagination and a knack for finding fun in the simplest things. She doesn't need a fancy toy collection to keep herself entertained. Give her a plastic spiral spring or, believe it or not, a plastic pull-tab from an ice cream container, and she'll happily turn it into hours of entertainment! She's also a fan of puzzle boxes and hanging doorway toys, but sometimes the simplest things really are the best.

When she's ready for some quality time with her humans, Zara has another special talent: **she plays fetch!** And make no mistake, she's the one calling the shots. She'll bring you her favorite toy, patiently wait for you to throw it, and proudly retrieve it for another round. Just be prepared for a workout because this girl has impressive stamina and doesn't always know when to call it quits!

Zara can be a little shy when meeting new people, but her curiosity usually gets the better of her, and she'll come over to investigate. Once you've earned her approval, you might even be rewarded with a request for belly rubs! She's been wonderful with visiting children, including young kids, and has happily accepted pets from her little admirers.

Zara is being rehomed through no fault of her own. Unfortunately, she hasn't been getting along with the resident calico cat, and her family has made the difficult decision that a fresh start would be best for everyone's well-being. Although she still enjoys playing with her biological sister, she would likely be happiest as the only cat in her new home. Her experience with dogs is unknown.

This girl is perfectly capable of entertaining herself but also appreciates having her people nearby. She's accustomed to a human working from home, though she does just fine when left to her own devices. Loud noises and the dreaded vacuum cleaner may send her into temporary hiding, but she won't stay away for long!

Zara is a strict indoor-only girl who enjoys her morning treats, appreciates having food and fresh water available throughout the day, and loves a predictable daily routine.

If you're looking for a sweet, independent companion with a playful personality, a hilarious collection of favorite toys, and a serious talent for fetch, Zara might just be your girl! Just don't be surprised if she asks you to throw that little plastic tab one more time. And then one more time after that.

*Please note that most of our kitties will only be adopted out in pairs or to a home with an existing cat or furry companion--depending upon what is best for them.
