We can't quite decide who is more in love with Nala: the humans who serve her or Nala herself! If there is one thing we can all agree on, it is that Nala knows exactly what she wants and it is nothing short of everything.

Nala has been at the adoption center for about four weeks and while we initially (jokingly) referred to her as 'the princess' we now (quite seriously) call her "the queen."

While she interacts quite nicely with the other cats in playgroup, she does politely insist they submit to her demands. If it is her turn to sit on the tunnel, the other cats need to move; if she wants to wash her feet in the community water bowl, the water should be fresh; if she is ready for grooming or cuddling, the humans must act immediately!

Nala might sound like a diva. OK, she might be a diva, but she is also a really sweet, loving girl. She just knows what she wants out of life and isn't afraid to ask for it. Nala would prefer a home without other cats or with cats that will accommodate her lifestyle; mature, cat-social dogs okay; child free home or children over 8 preferred.

Nala is approximately four years old and would be classified as a blue tabby with white -- she has gorgeous eyes and distinct nose. Like all of our animals for adoption, Nala has been spayed, vaccinated, tested for common diseases, and microchipped. Please visit her at the adoption center during open hours!

NOTE: Companion Animal Resource and Adoption Center is now known as Humane Milwaukee. The location and hours remain the same as well as its commitment to saving and serving homeless animals in the Greater Milwaukee Area and their people!
