Kira Domestic Short Hair Rio Linda, CA

Kira came to me via a string of unlikely chance encounters. The moment I saw her, desperate for food and love, I scooped her right up into my arms, and she's been there ever since. A few days after I brought her into my foster room she became very sick. At the emergency vet her illness was confirmed as panleukopenia, a deadly virus, and she was pregnant. Despite her poor prospects, I was already committed to the supportive care needed to keep her alive as she battled the disease: subq fluids with a giant needle and syringe, antibiotics, anti-vomiting meds, syringe feeding, and lots of love. And she made it!
As she's recovered, I've gotten to know her, and she is quite the velcro kitty! She loves to snuggle next to me (not on my lap yet, but mostly laying down), by my head, in the crook of my arm, under the covers at night. She's very talkative and absolutely loves human interaction. She has all sorts of chirps and meows and yells that I'm beginning to decipher.
So far Kira prefers the company of people to other cats. She is extremely confident and unafraid, and is absolutely a joy to be with. She's about 2 years old and is pretty mellow so far.
She's had her FVRCP vaccination as well as Rabies, she has been spayed and is microchipped.
