Ziva is sweet, friendly, loves head rubs and skritches but most certainly is not cuddly. She will happily jump in your lap, but just long enough for a few treats. She doesn't mind being picked up for a short walk from room to room. On colder nights, Ziva actually climbs under the bedcovers and snuggles with foster mom for a little while before moving out to the foot of the bed.  Her favorite pastime is sitting on her perch by the window watching the bird feeder and squirrels and "helping" foster mom knit. Ziva was barely out of kittenhood when she was dumped at the shelter with her one day old kittens. She came into foster care, weaned her kittens, was spayed and microchipped. Considering her early life was one of being a brave survivor of unfortunate circumstance, she has come a long way to being a friendly, non-skittish, young adult cat. She gets along well with her foster family's other cats (after the necessary intro period). IDEALLY, her adopter will appreciate her personality and allow her to be just plain friendly at first and let her bond at her own pace. Ziva is a confident survivor.
