KOALA GIRL'S STORY

Koala Girl is the friendliest cat we’ve ever met!  She is adorable and loves all people and all cats.  She does indeed resemble a koala bear cub with her funny little face and tufts of fur on each side of her nose.  She has a little half-curl tail. 

She is 8 years old and healthy except for an occasional cough.  She has been seen for this with differing opinions - that it might be a result of some upper respiratory illness when she was young or a herpes virus.  Most of the time she is fine but now and then she has a period where the coughing is more persistent. 

Koala is always where the action is!  She loves to follow one person around but also loves to be part of a big group.  If people aren’t available or interested she will seek another cat to follow around or hang out with.  She will rub up against other cats, give them kisses, and flop down in front of them and stare up.  She would probably be okay with a docile dog.

If no one will play or hang out then she entertains herself with toys.  She often runs in circles with her toy mice and then buries them in her foster mom’s bed (where she insists on sleeping every night).  She loves to bask in the sun on the balcony, but runs inside if the wind comes up.  She loves being indoors only and that is safest for all cats.

Koala is very well behaved and doesn’t jump on the table or countertops and doesn’t scratch furniture!  Her nickname is Lovebug because she loves to be cuddled and scratched (although doesn't seem to like being picked up).  She’s a bit of a talker and meows when she's hungry or wants attention.  She absolutely loves scratching her large cat post and in every way is a Good Girl.

One vet said she should not be around other cats but other vets have not felt it was a problem and is no more contagious than any upper respiratory illness and that most cats have been vaccinated for this.  If the adopter has a healthy cat there will probably be no problem but their own vet should be consulted about this before adoption. 

Koala Girl has every good quality and no bad habits.  She is amazing!
