My name is Chika,
I really am the most beautiful girl… but I’m also a very silly one, because I’m quite scared of the world.
I once had a lovely lady who was my whole world, but sadly she passed away and I found myself all alone. When I came into rescue, I didn’t understand that people were trying to help me, so I became a bit grumpy and defensive.
Everything changed when I moved into my foster home. With time, patience, and lots of yummy tuna (I love tuna), I started to learn that I was safe… and that maybe I could trust again.
I’m still a nervous girl, so I need a calm, quiet home with someone patient who will go slowly with me. I’m not going to be a girl who settles in quickly—it could take me months to adjust to my new life, or even to come over and say hello. My new family will need to understand this and be truly committed to giving me the time I need.
I might growl or get scared sometimes, but it’s only because I don’t understand yet. Once I do trust you, I’ll greet you with little chirps, give the sweetest headbutts, and enjoy the loveliest fuss. I may even become a lap cat one day—but only when I’m ready.I love my comforts—tasty food (especially anything in gravy), brushing, my scratcher, and of course… tuna. I also love my safe spaces where I can hide when things feel overwhelming.
I would be happiest as an indoor-only girl in a peaceful home, and I will be happiest with no children around.
A catio might be nice one day, but the big outside world is far too scary for me.
Please be patient with me. With love, kindness, and a little tuna, I promise I’ll become the most loving companion you could wish for.
My adoption fee is £135
