For a New Family to Know
Luna is a friendly, mellow, and affectionate cat. He is lovely dovey to his owner and children. Luna is an indoor cat but likes looking out the window. She enjoys playing with string and laser point toys. Luna likes to sleep behind sofa, or on top of the window sill. The owner left dry food out for Luna all day, but she loves wet food the most (also her favorite treat). Luna used an uncovered litter box and is litter boxed trained. Luna likes to scratch on cardboard scratching posts.

Behavior Notes:

Luna head butt a counselor and allowed to be pet. She was ready to jump out her kennel whenever a counselor opened the door. Luna allowed all handling and struggled to go inside her carrier for transport.

A volunteer writes: Pretty Luna is right in the spotlight (moonlight) as she gently rubs up against the kennel door. A family cat, she loves to be around people and kids; she previously lived with a child. As you can see if you watch the video, this is a very affectionate, friendly and full of life feline. Her eyes get intense when curiosity grabs her as she pokes her head out but doesn’t get too pushy. Toss a few treats and she’ll prance around in joy. Striking feature? Those whiskers, of course! You can’t go wrong with this gentle young sprite who will get along well. A sweet “family kitty”!
