Gia (fostered in Germany)

Update 24.8.2025:

Meet Gia! Gia is a very special young cat.


She came to us as a tiny kitten and moved from foster home to foster home, never able to settle down for good.

Now, at around two years old, she’s still waiting for her forever family. Gia is a funny, playful girl with a unique personality. She loves hair ties and will even bring them back to you — just like a little dog! She also enjoys playing with her toys and cuddling her stuffed animals.

Having grown up with both cats and dogs, she gets along well with them. That said, Gia would also be perfectly happy as an only pet, since she doesn’t like rough play. She has only lived indoors, but recently started exploring the outdoors on a leash.

Gia loves being outside, though she can be a little too fearless at times and doesn’t always recognize danger in general — so supervision is important.

At home, Gia is easy-going. She doesn’t cause trouble and her days are happily filled with playing, eating, sleeping and snuggling. She loves curling up on top of you or right next to you, but she also enjoys her independence. For this reason, Gia would do best in a calm household, without young children.

As a kitten, Gia suffered an injury to her back leg and later underwent hip surgery. While you can still notice it, it doesn’t slow her down — she can do anything any other cat can.

Gia is currently in foster care in Germany, but unfortunately, once again, she can’t stay there much longer. Please consider giving beautiful Gia the forever home she truly deserves. Be the one to finally see and appreciate this amazing girl!

Update 19.1.2024:

She needs no introduction: GIA

Gia was dropped off at the shelter as a tiny kitten, weighing less than 400 grams. She’s still a small cat, but only in appearance. In her heart, she’s a big… DOG! Gia is a bit special—she loves playing fetch and sometimes even “barks” when someone rings the doorbell

Gia seeks out her humans for affection and loves falling asleep next to them. She enjoyed playing and snuggling with her big sister Pearl, but Pearl recently hit the jackpot and found her forever home in Germany. Now, Gia feels a bit lonely—we can tell—that’s why we hope that she finds a loving family of her own

Gia generally gets along well with other cats and is completely unafraid of dogs, no matter their size or number.

Gia has tested negative for FIV and FeLV.

Her story:

Meet Gia, a charming black and white cat with a heart as big as her expressive eyes. Gia’s journey began when she was just a tiny ball of fur, abandoned as a baby and left to navigate the world on her own. Fate had other plans for Gia, though, as she was discovered and welcomed into a warm and loving home.

From the very beginning, Gia found herself in the company of a friendly dog who became her constant companion. Their playful interactions and shared adventures created a bond that transcended the boundaries of species, proving that friendship knows no limits.

As Gia grew, so did her affectionate nature. Her days were filled with curious explorations and delightful mischief, making her an integral part of the household. Her distinctive black and white fur, adorned with unique patterns, only added to her charm. Gia’s presence brought joy and laughter to the home, creating cherished memories for all who knew her.

Despite her challenging start in life, Gia’s spirit remains unbroken, and her resilience shines through. She’s a testament to the capacity for love and trust that animals possess, even in the face of adversity.

Gia is now available for adoption, eagerly waiting to become a cherished member of a new family. With her endearing personality and striking appearance, she’s sure to capture the hearts of those lucky enough to welcome her into their lives. If you’re seeking a furry companion who embodies both sweetness and strength, Gia may be the perfect addition to your home—a reminder that love can transform even the most challenging beginnings into a tale of triumph and joy.
