POW! Sweet, Cuddly Nika Was Born To Be a Lap Cat
“The cat, it is well to remember, remains the friend of man because it pleases him to do so and not because he must.”
— Carl Van Vechten, American writer and photographer

Life isn’t easy, not for humans and definitely not for the animals that love us.
As we work through our trials and tribulations, many times it’s our pets that pay the ultimate price of losing their safe and secure home along with their owners.
Nika
Meet Nika, a beautiful gray tabby, Domestic shorthair about 4-years-old that lost her home due to her owner’s eviction.
Nika was born to be a lap cat, sweet, fat and happy! Her new owners will need to monitor her weight so that she stays healthy and lives a long and happy life.
We don’t know if she ever had toys, if she ever played with the fishing pole and feather, or swatted at a ball with a bell inside of it, or rolled around in cat nip. We do know that every day she sits on the highest shelf in the cat room somewhat aloof from the other cats as she gazes over her queendom and cat naps.
We’re sure her heart’s desire is to have a family that will give her lots of cuddles and kisses with no other cats around to steal her thunder. Her ideal family might be the ones who don’t have any other cats at the moment, where she can come off the shelf and engage her new family members.
Nika is just too adorable for words.
