ABOUT THIS ANIMAL:
Nina is a very curious and friendly kitty! She was rescued from the streets of Saudi Arabia. She was born with entropion which causes the eyelashes and the fur on the eyelid to rub against the surface of the eye, causing irritation to the eye. While they did perform a surgery in Saudi Arabia, her eyelids continued to cause her discomfort, leading her to constantly squint and not see well. She's completed another surgery now that she's in the US to correct this. We expect her to have more open eyes once fully healed. Nina loves other cats and wants a friendly, active cat that wants her play and attention. She may climb in your lap when watching TV or sit in the cat bed next to your computer as you work. Nina loves to touch noses. She needs people who will give her lots of pets and play. She does get a bit nibbly when overstimulated in play so best if no small kids. Nina wants to be where you and where the action is. She's a total delight!
