Description:
*Bonded to Windy*Hi, I’m Nola. I’m just a wee thing, but am bursting with love to give! I am a bit of a slow burner as I had a very hard start to life, but with time and patience, I bloom into a giant cuddle bug. I will roll around in excitement, trying to get every inch of pets and affection from my person. I’m very curious and like to watch what’s going on around me. New noises and people are a bit scary to me at first. But my bonded kitty friend Windy helps me feel safe. Windy and I will need to be adopted together. Once I settle in and feel more confident, I’m just a puddle of love. My personality is affectionate, curious, and a bit shy. When it comes to grooming, I'm great—I love brushing and don't mind having my feet touched. Yes, I am fully litterbox trained. I enjoy petting, cuddles, playing with toys, exploring cat scratching posts, and spending time with other kitties. However, I tend to get nervous around loud noises and new things, and I don't like being alone. In terms of talkativeness, I'm generally a quiet girl, but I'm an easy purr machine when I'm feeling comfortable and content. When I feel safe and comfortable, I’m a very easy going girl who likes to be by her people and cuddle. I also get along just fine doing my own thing. I really just want a family to call my own, and with a lot of love and a little patience, I’ll become your favorite little roly poly cuddle bug. Nola is from a reservation.

Adopting kittens in pairs has been proven to be beneficial for cats’ emotional and behavioral well-being and greatly improves the likelihood of long-term adopter happiness as a result. Adopting more than one kitten also reduces the risk of “Single Kitten Syndrome” (also known as Tarzan Syndrome), a symptom of under-socialization during a kitten’s most formative weeks. Kittens who are under-socialized may develop aggressive tendencies toward both other animals and humans as they grow, creating lifelong behavioral issues for owners.
