Shakira

Shakira will be one of the stars of the show at our next adoption day (Sat 2nd May at Pet O Maribyrnong)! Follow us on Instagram @sugarandspicecatrescue for details of upcoming events. And if you pre-apply to adopt, you might even be able to take your new best friend home on the day! 💜

😸 Loves other cats, and would adore a feline friend or two
🐶 Untested with dogs, but would likely be fine with a slow introduction
👶🏻 Great with kids, as long as they're gentle and not overly loud
🏠 Strictly indoors only (a fully enclosed, professionally installed catio is fine)

Sugar meter: 🍬🍬🍬🍬🍬/5

Meet Shakira: The Gentle Soul
If you’re looking for a companion who radiates peace and warmth, look no further than Shakira. This beautiful young mother has spent the last several weeks devotedly raising her four kittens (two girls and two boys), and now she is ready to find a forever home where she can finally be the one who is pampered.

Her Personality
Shakira is the definition of a "zen" cat. Despite the chaos of raising four active youngsters (and in the streets!), she has maintained the most calming nature. She isn't one to hide or shy away. Instead, she seeks out human connection with a quiet, steady confidence.

She loves to be near her people and will happily soak up all the chin scratches and head pats you can offer. She has a grounded energy that makes her a soothing presence in any room. While she's been a fantastic, watchful mother, she is clearly ready to transition into a life of leisure and personal attention.

Her presence is unmatched, she will happily stare into your eyes and soak up all the love you can give her for ours on end.

Ideal Home
Shakira would thrive in a variety of environments, provided there is plenty of love to go around. Because of her gentle temperament, she would be an excellent match for:
• A household looking for a "work from home" supervisor who stays calm during meetings.
• Families who want a cat that enjoys being part of the daily rhythm.
• Anyone seeking a companion to help them decompress after a long day.
