CH (N) Zifina India was the half sister of our wonderful Hieronymus. She earned her Champion title, but retired from the show ring in 2015.
India was intended for breeding, but was neutered because of Hip Dysplasia. She was rehomed September 2015, and found the perfect new family for her, moving to a peaceful country life, for her last years. She also later got the diagnosis of spondylosis, and in early August 2017 her pains were too bad, and she was put to sleep. RIP beautiful India.
India’s tough look matched her fearless and outgoing personality. She used to be such a quick, athletic girl who loved to play and hunting toys, and she loved crawling up next to us in the sofa. She was incredibly kind and patient, and loved being around children who play. She was also very social and caring about the other cats.
