Nala may come off as timid, but as she unravels you will discover that this beautiful Bengal is full of sunshine and ready to bring her light into a home of her own.
About Nala
At shelter
Nala is a skittish cat who has minimal experience with humans. As such, it takes time for her to feel secure enough to express her full, unfiltered self.
Nala has made tremendous progress from the days of hiding quietly in her cubby. She is now highly receptive to hand pets—though she prefers to be pet on her back—and has even started butting her head against our volunteers’ hands for more affection.
Nala is a Bengal cat, which means she is absolutely bursting with energy. Her morning routine consists of having the zoomies, batting away at her wand toy, and climbing up to the top of her cat tree.
All of that high energy means Nala loves her beauty sleep and appreciates having time to rest without interruption.
She is as chatty as she is curious, and she loves to call out for affection. She may even interrupt you while you are talking to her! Nala loves to command a room, and she’s looking for humans who will enjoy hearing her thoughts about, well…virtually everything.
Nala is currently enrolled in EHS’s socialization program, where dedicated volunteers are working to help her become more comfortable around people.
Nala is spayed, microchipped, dewormed, flea-treated, SNAP-tested for FIV/FeLV, and is up to date on core vaccinations.
Nala’s Ideal Home
Skittish cats like Nala fare best in quiet, calm environments, preferably without small children or dogs.
During Nala’s socialization progress she has shown more openness to interacting with her fellow cats, however, Nala is highly selective when it comes to choosing her cat friends; she is very close to her fellow rescue, Ebony, but not so much with most of the other cats in the shelter. Therefore, we cannot be certain that she would get along with any resident cats in an adopter’s home.
Nala will do best in a home with lots of space for her to sprint, explore, and climb so she can burn off her excess energy.
Potential adopters should be prepared to commit the time, effort, and patience required to help Nala settle into her new environment. EHS will provide post-adoption support to assist Nala with a successful transition to her forever home.
Nala’s next chapter is just beginning, and she will need a safe and supportive environment as it unfolds. If you’re ready to open your heart and home to exuberant Nala, apply to adopt her today!
