Mila - Located in Albert Park

Mila is stunning, and as beautiful within as without. She's affectionate, gentle, clever & brave beyond measure. She's only just building the confidence to play & to actively ask for affection - rather than passively receive it. But a calm & loving guardian will help her achieve these milestones & bring out more of her personality, likely to have been suppressed by years of hardship. In return, she'll soothe stress & bring happiness & immense beauty to a very lucky guardian or family.

Mila was reluctantly surrendered on 1 April 2021 due to overseas migration. Only as she recovered from that upheaval in fostercare, was a long-term & likely painful paw injury discovered & successfully treated (see vet notes, below). Despite her masked suffering, Mila didn't show any aggression to her carer or vet staff - quite the contrary. She loves being patted, brushed & lying on or beside her fostermum. She purrs readily, even while being carried, but isn't demanding or overly vocal and has impeccable house manners.

She's less trusting of non-humans: initially hissy with dogs & unfamiliar cats (as most cats are). While she may not need another animal for company if her human(s) are mostly home; she grew up with other cats & a small dog, & is adjusting fairly quickly to the new animals in her current fosterhome. So she'll likely be happy either as a solo cat with a guardian who's able to offer her their time and affection during the day; or paired with a similarly easygoing male cat; & will tolerate a calm & gentle dog or two. She has not yet been tested for her response to children, but her gentleness, warmth & relaxed nature suggest she could suit similar-natured children.

If she sounds well-suited to you & your home, please complete an enquiry form & her fostercarer will respond ASAP.
