Ziva

Age: 2 years

Breed: Domestic Shorthair

Gender: Spayed Female

Meet Ziva, a striking little lady with the spirit of a fighter and the heart of a loyal companion. This sweetie suffered an oftentimes fatal condition called a pyometra, an infection of the uterus. She needed emergency surgery and hospitalization to save her life, and she has now made a full recovery!

Named after a character known for strength, intelligence, and fearless independence, Ziva carries herself with quiet confidence. She’s the type of cat who notices everything—nothing gets past her watchful eyes. At first, she may seem a bit reserved, preferring to assess her surroundings and decide who she can trust before letting her guard down.

Ziva values her space and appreciates a world that moves at a respectful pace. She isn’t the kind of cat who enjoys constant handling or surprise cuddles—she prefers to be the one to initiate affection when she’s ready. And when that moment comes, it feels like being chosen by a very discerning little queen.

While she can be selective about other animals and would prefer a home where she can feel secure and unchallenged, Ziva has so much love to give once she feels safe. Beneath her independent exterior is a cat who bonds deeply with her people and shows her affection in subtle, meaningful ways—soft presence, quiet companionship, and trust earned over time. She isn’t looking for someone to change her; she’s looking for someone who understands her. Someone patient, respectful, and willing to let her set the tone of the relationship.

If you’re ready for a cat with presence, personality, and a strong spirit wrapped in a soft, affectionate core, Ziva may just be your perfect match.
