Of the three sisters I have from Cathy’s farm, Nalia is the shiest – but the past couple of days she has let me pet her!
It says a lot for her sweet and friendly personality that she has built trust in humans to this point. As a shy farm kitty, she didn’t have much experience of people. Cathy fed the cats and was a positive and familiar person, but closer interactions didn’t happen with the cats that stayed in the background. Nalia also had kittens, and was very protective of them.
She was specifically chosen for 9 Lives Rescue to take, to give the kittens a better chance at life. She was taken, put in a carrier, and brought to a strange house (my house is certainly not what she was used to!) along with her kittens. She had no idea that it was a good thing, and she found it extremely scary.
Now her kittens have gone to great new homes, Nalia has been reunited with her sister Lady Felix, and she is starting to understand that life can be good. They play with toys, wrestle with each other, run up and down the hall, and have discovered that treats are really great. Lady Felix loves attention, and Nalia has started to believe she might like it too. At treat time, she accepts pets – and yesterday she purred! I’m so happy she’s feeling more and more comfortable and trusting!

These two sisters are available for adoption. They’re a great pair, and super fun to play with. Lady Felix is sweet, energetic, loves attention, and is very outgoing. Nalia is shy and cautious, but very sweet and affectionate, and getting more confident every day. Like many sisters, they look very different and have different personalities, but they have a strong bond and understand each other. It’s really heartwarming to see!
