Adopt a Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat)

DOB: 4/12/17

This is Leilani, Miss personality herself.

Leilani’s favorite toy is a felt covered ball with a bell inside. She loves to play fetch with it, and will bring it back to you over and over again. If she can’t find her ball, she will bring you something else of interest to throw. Once she’s tired out she will cuddle up against you for a nap. In fact, she loves to cuddle, she will quite often come plop herself on your chest and then nuzzle her head tightly under your chin. She has the cutest little soft mew, and she will answer back whenever spoken to. Her shiny black fur is flecked here and there with single white hairs, and she also has just a wisp of white on her little chest. And those beautiful golden/green eyes are so expressive, it’s as if she always knows what’s on your mind. I’m sure you’ll fall in love like we did the minute you pick her up and that motor starts to hum.

This little one has been through so much in her short lifetime, but has let nothing hold her back. She came to Kitten Rescue when she was approximately 6 weeks old and It was soon discovered that she had a congenital deformity that caused her chest wall to collapse in on itself, crowding her heart and lungs. She went through a surgical procedure to correct this problem which forced her to be separated from her buddies and to be crated for the majority of 6 weeks. During that time, she wore a brace that covered her whole upper torso. In spite of all this, she seemed to blossom into a sweeter more adorable girl by the day! She only seemed to capture the hearts of everyone who met her. Now she is completely healed and everything is growing the way it should, Yay!

She is great with other cats, and doesn’t mind dogs, although she is prone to giving them a wide birth.

Must be adopted with another kitten or into a house that already has a younger kitten to keep her company.
