There’s a mystery about Nyota. She was found among a colony of feral cats, but it became obvious immediately that she had lived with people at some point in her life. She did not display the usual fear that feral cats do around humans; she likes to be petted; and she enjoys a good "skritch" around the root of her tail.

While Nyota is medium in size, she looks larger because of her gorgeous long fur. She’s certainly the most exotic-looking tabby we’ve seen in quite some time. One of her eyeballs is smaller than the other, but there’s nothing to be done about that, and it doesn’t seem to affect Nyota or her vision. It is important to note that Nyota does NOT like to be picked up.

We believe that our beautiful girl was born late in 2013, and she has no health issues of which we are aware. If you like long-haired felines, as so many people do, we urge you to come in to get acquainted with her.
