Akira is a very small and very shy girl. She is very docile, loves other cats, loves to get brushed and petted; but will always be shy and easily frightened. A quiet home with no dogs or active small kids is a must; she would just spend her life hiding. She will hide until she is convinced you are not actually going to harm her.  Any new pet parent will have to be the one to initiate a relationship and will have to work at establishing trust and a bond. A predictable routine is necessary for her comfort levels. Akira will probably not exceed five or six pounds fully grown. She is spayed, up to date on all shots, negative for FIV and FeLV, treated for parasites, and micro chipped. Akira is Heartland #7756
