Important stuff, at least to me, first: my name is pronounced Ge Ga, not Yi Ya as in Yippee Yi Ya - some kind of Space Cowboy. Hardly. I am as exquisite a young lady as you will ever see. I am a Japanese painting executed in silk, perhaps a Chinese courtesan from an ancient royal dynasty, perhaps just the descendant of a Siamese queen who left me traces of the colors of her heritage. In other words, I am young and beautiful and all things stunning. If I look familiar, probably you've seen me on the cover of "Cat Fancy". A supermodel in soft fur - and barely a year old. Are you impressed yet?

I hope you're impressed - but not so much that you think me standoffish. Hardly. Just because I'm beautiful doesn't mean I'm unapproachable. Try it. Approach me - see what happens. I am standing at the door, waving for your attention. I follow you with my eyes. I reach my delicate paw out to touch you. Open the door. Now I put my paws on you. Want to hold me? I like to be held. I like to explore. I seek space and things to explore, people to love, people who love, everything a royal and rather exotic young lady deserves.

All right - I'm fluffy, but there's something about that word that I just don't like. It sounds silly - and I am not silly. Playful, amusing, curious, smart? Yes. Silly? No. This time of year, too - please be careful with my fluffiness - static electricity. Ow! Ow, Ow! I am not Rice Krispies - no snap, crackle and pop, please. I am Yi Ya. I am exquisite; I am exotic. I am loving; I purr. I'm the best opportunity you'll ever have to get all that for a mere $100. Please allow me to make your home a stunning scene. I can.

PS: I currently reside at THE SHELTER (not in foster care). If you can't stop in but would like to know more about me, please call 651-642-5900, ext.3. Thanks!
