Laura let me tell you about Evita. She is beautiful first. She does have a little bit of an attitude though. I'm not sure how much of that the fact that she has been in a cage for so long. Most of the girls at the shelter call her nasty but I take her out and hold her all the time. I think she gets over stimulated easily. It's probably from a lack of attention so when she does get loved on she just doesn't know what to do with too much at once. She is front declawed so she will nip at you when she wants down. She has never hurt me just nipped so that I know she wants down. When she is standing and not being held she can't seem to get enough neck scratches! I personally really like Evita but I do think someone who is familiar with cats and their attitudes would be best for her.
The really sad thing is that when these cats are caged for so long its hard to tell what they could blossom into in an open and loving environment.
I don't know her age or anything but if you need more info on her I could get her paperwork pulled and see what else they know about her.
She really does look like your sons kitty!! They could be twins!
