Nala is a shelter cat who has a unique way of getting noticed. She smiles at everyone who passes by.

When Nala was found, she was pregnant and in labor but she was having difficulty giving birth. A good Samaritan in the Netherlands found her and rushed her to a veterinary hospital.

It took four weeks but the kitten grew to be a healthy and independent young cat. That kitten has moved on to their forever home.

Everybody who comes to the shelter finds a little bit of love from Nala. She comes running when somebody walks by.

Since the cat has a cleft lip, she always appears to be smiling. She also requires a special diet because of a skin condition. She gets hypo-allergenic food and is doing much better. She might always need this special food.

When Nala sees a visitor coming, she immediately starts to meow. She will also stand up against the glass window and stare with the grin on her face.

Any time Nala is with a human friend, she is very happy. When Ineke visits her at the shelter, she is quickly greeted for some cuddles.

The perfect home for her would be a house with a (fenced) garden, with humans who are at home a lot and who don’t have a problem with her special diet.
