Nika was taken by her original owner to the vet and her owner abandoned her there and never picked her up. She had been identified by this owner as a spayed female F4 savannah. ?A worker at the hospital felt badly for her and took her home but now that family is having problems living with her since they had a new baby.

Nika is not happy. ?Besides the new baby, there is another cat in the house and Nika doesn’t always use the litter box. If laundry or other items are left on the floor she will urinate on them. She will also defecate on the floor for no apparent reason. ?She tries to be good for long periods of time, but then something upsets her and she starts going outside the litter box again. To investigate the reason for her inappropriate urination her owners took her to the vet to find out that she had urinary crystals and kidney stones. These stones can be very painful and are often the reason a cat will stop using the litterbox. But now that the habit has started, it has become behavioural as well as health related. She has been on medication for the stones plus she will need to remain on a veterinary diet (science Diet C/D) ?for the rest of her life to prevent reoccurrence of them. Nika will also scratch on the door moldings when she is kept out of a room or when she is stressed.

Her current owners say that she is as sweet as they come. She is gentle with their new baby and friendly to the whole family. She likes to play in water as you can see in the pics. ?She is quiet and sometimes likes to sit in your lap. She also will follow you around the house. She does not bite and is playful and a joy, and except for the above problems they would keep her.

Nika is going to be 10 years old this year and will come with all of her veterinary records. She is located in Tomball Texas. Savannahs are banned in many counties in Texas. If you live in this state please check this link to see if they are banned. If you are in an county that allows ownership you will be responsible for acquiring a permit to own Nika before she can move to your home. www.hybridlaw.com/texas

The ideal home for Nika would be one that doesn’t have a lot of activity going on. A home with roommates that are coming and going, or large noisy parties, or people that are out of town a lot would not be an ideal home. Young children running around and playing would not be a good fit with Nika. If there is another cat it should be a submissive, mellow natured cat and Nika would need her own litterbox. Nika gets along well with the current cat and they play together but perhaps there is some dominance issue going on that is causing her to defecate and urinate outside the box at times. ?If there are children-- an older, only child would be a perfect fit. Nika has been exposed to a dog (Chihuahua) but the dog just stressed her out and she wasn’t happy at all. Nika ran and the dog chased. It is possible this is also one of the reasons for her acting out? ?Perhaps if you have an old mellow dog that was quiet and left her alone it would be ok. And the ideal owner is one that is prepared to deal with a cat that may be prone to UTI’s and willing to keep her on a specialized diet and work on her litterbox issues and take her for all of her good qualities and have the patience and love to work on her shortcomings.
