Rubbing against your ankles and begging for pets, Shenzi is an adorable sweetheart who loves to spend time with her human friends! This little one is the epitome of an affectionate kitty, as she is incredibly people-oriented and loves any and all attention she can get!

When it’s not cuddle time, Shenzi can be found coexisting with her human companions! Whether she is curled up beside you on the couch or simply sitting in the same room as you, this sweet girl loves to be with her people!

Shenzi was brought to Austin Pets Alive with her kitty friend, Pumbaa, and has grown deeply bonded to him. Pumbaa relies heavily on Shenzi for comfort and emotional security. Shenzi can often be found grooming him for comfort, or simply encouraging him to join her for meals. These two share a beautiful bond, as they are truly connected to one another. For these reasons, Shenzi and Pumbaa are considered a bonded pair, meaning that the two of them are to be adopted together.

When it comes to her ideal home, Shenzi would thrive in a loving home where she can receive plenty of attention and companionship! This little one loves to be with her people, and would do well with human companions who are searching for a loving kitty to spend their days with!

If your ideal Saturday includes curling up on the couch with a little lovebug glued to your side, Shenzi might be your purr-fect match!

All APA! cats are fully vetted, spayed or neutered, and have updated vaccines and a microchip. Lifetime support is offered by our Cat Behavior Team.
